Hi Tom,

OK.  Looking at WiX's custom action types, there looks to be a custom
action involving an installed file, so calling the service EXE
post-install shouldn't be a problem:

We believe that it is a call to "mgserver.exe install" at the end.
We're only 98.5% sure though, and Tim who could give us an answer in one
second, is on vacation until January.

That said, I think that we should use the same approach as it keeps the
server's "service install" and the installer's "service install" from
getting out of sync.
