I'm afraid that you haven't really solved it An immeadiate CA scheduled after
InstallFinalize won't have the needed permissions to start the service in
scenarios like UAC/Limited User and Elevated/Managed installations.
I would personally bite the bullet and get a bootstrapper together to lay the
prereq down so that ServiceStartService will function as designed without the
need for a CA. The real problem here is the Assembly Publishing / Merge
Module story, not the SCM story.
