1. This is a question more suited for wix-users than wix-devs. Or, better yet, it is a Windows Installer question more than a WiX one. 2. The MSISERVER service is used by the entire InstallExecuteSequence sequence and Windows Installer already takes care to deal with two scenarios: a. It ensures that transactions using it are system-wide singletons. b. It automatically accepts the next transaction when the last one ends, so it does NOT have to be stopped for a new transaction to start. In fact, it disables STOP while transactions are running, and reenables STOP when it idles waiting for new transactions. It has a timeout on the idle to stop automatically if no new transactions are requested while it is idle (this is done for performance reasons, to avoid the time spent stopping/restarting the service).
