Sounds evident, if I'm not wrong... the answer is in your letter.
Have you tried sequencing it with installexecutesequence (and
adminexecutesequence)?
I mean adding
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<StartServices Sequence="enter_a_sequence_number_big_enough_here" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
It should work as an override.
A typical value for enter_a_sequence_number_big_enough_here could be
anything > 6600, e.g. 6700 should be fine, since InstallFinalize typically
has a default sequence of 6600. This latter value can be checked using Orca.
