Hello,
1) You only could do a manual check if the other product is still installed
while your product start. Alternatively, you could disable the Remove-Button
from the Control Panel for the other product. To do so add the "NoRemove" value
to the other products uninstall registry key
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{product key}). But
consider the other product's vendor might not like this :-)
2) Do not use Start/Stop=both if you are uninstalling the services too. There's
a Remove="uninstall" available. If you are not un/installing the service
yourself, add a condition to the component using a property that gets set if
the service was found (LaunchCondition). I.E.:
<property Id="ServiceXYInstalled">
<registrysearch ... />
</property>
<component ..>
<servicecontrol ... />
<condition>ServiceXYInstalled</condition>
</component>

Sebastian Brand
