I have bootstrapper installer created with burn which contains 4 msi where 3 of them are installed (depend on OS).
One of the installers installs service and runs it. If I only use this one for uninstall, the service is being stopped and removed from the services list. But if I do an uninstall with the bootstrapper installer, service remains in the list and is shown as running (even though all the files are removed and service is not running in a real).
Does anyone have any idea what might be the difference between uninstall from msi and from the exe bootstrapper (where the same msi is packed)?
Service installation:
<Component Id="ComponentId" Guid="someguid-4C46-832F-B3E7E063713A">
<File Id="ExeFile" Checksum="yes" KeyPath="yes" Source="service.exe" />
<ServiceInstall DisplayName="[ProductName]"
Name="myservice"
Id="ServiceInstall"
Start="auto"
ErrorControl="normal"
Type="ownProcess"
Account="[ACCOUNTUSER]"
Password="[ACCOUNTPASSWORD]" />
<ServiceControl Id="ServiceControl"
Name="myservice"
Remove="uninstall"
Wait="yes"
Start="install"
Stop="both" />
</Component>
And the bootstrapper:

I have figured out this, there might be a problem with killing all running instances when uninstalling App2. I have solved this by changing an order of the last two install packages and now it removes the product just fine, including to stop and remove the service.
