I dont' think windows even has such a feature, so I'd be surprised if MSI
does.
I think that's the whole reason why iisreset is a program and they don't
just rely on people having to do net start / net stop commands.
By the way, if you know the dependencies, you could just do net start and
not check the return value, couldn't you? Or does MSI also complain when
net start throws an error?

[WiX-users] Dependent Windows Services
I never figured out a built-in way (in WIX) to start/stop dependent
Windows services automagically. For example, the server has IIS installed
along with SMTP & POP3. When I stop IIS (via ServiceControl), the
dependent services also get stopped, but when I restart IIS (via
ServiceControl), the dependent services don't get started. I can include
extra ServiceControl elements for all the IIS dependent services, but the
MSI will throw and exception if one these dependent services hasn't been
installed.
In short, is there a way to achieve the above functionality magically
(meaning, when I start/stop a specific service, all the dependent services
would start/stop based on which service is installed)?
Thanks.
