[wix-users] Ordering Service Stop

[Horr, Joe]

We have a similar scenario with one of our packages where we need services to stop in a particular order yet don't want to set Windows Service dependencies between them. I discovered that the MSI will create the Service Control table in alphabetical order of the ServiceControl ID name, thus stopping and starting the services in that order. Using this, you can control the order in the generated installer by naming the ServiceControl IDs in alphabetic order of the way you want them stopped and started.
I use "a_", "b_", etc. in front of the existing ServiceControl ID names to ensure their order in the Service Control MSI table and it works great for us.

You  can use custom actions to stop each service and schedule the actions
