[wix-users] Stop & Start Service

[Ven H]

Thank you Chris. But, does this really work as expected? Because, I see it
stops & starts quickly and doesn't seem to follow the sequence. Also, it's
a requirement to stop it at beginning and start it back towards the end of
the installation.

Regards,
Venkatesh
