I suspect a single component would work (or just the existing component that requires the service to stop and start) with ServiceControl because the usual sequence during an install is StopServices.... WriteRegistryValues... StartServices. You'd have a ServiceControl for Sql Express that does both start and stop on install with your registry update in between.

There's no option to restart a service, only to stop or start on install/uninstall/both. I'm pretty sure that the StopServices action occurs before the StartServices action, so you could create 2 components, one to stop the service on install, and another to start the service on install. You would then have to make you're modifications between these events. I've no clue how valid an idea this is, but it's a starting point.
