Are you still using your CA to uninstall the service as well? If so is it scheduled to remove the service before the ServiceControl has stopped it?
Try making a log to see what order everything is happening in and what files are locking it.

You could also ask the user to stop the service, but I suppose that this is not the way of choice for a userfriendly (un)installer. You could use a CA to stop the service by executing "sc.exe stop tvnserver" and schedule it before InstallValidate.
