Emma,
You could use a custom action to start the service at the end of the
install, and condition the custom action from the check box.
To start a service use the command NET Start XXXX. Use the WIX qtexec
custom action to run the command.

Subject: [WiX-users] Optional Service Start - Help Needed
When installing a windows service with WIX, I need for the service to be
optionally started or not, depending on input from the user (a check box
or the like). I have tried doing this using two separate components and
adding a condition, and this appears to work, however does not uninstall
properly. Could someone advise me on the best way to go about
implementing this solution?
Thanks
Emma.
