Why did you disable the service? Wouldnt just stopping the service, and have it set to Manual work for not letting it run on the server? Disabling the service perhaps puts some sort of a system lock on the service to perform a start of the service during the install to let the installer do what it has to and then stop it.

I didn't think the Email Engine was use for much more that processing incoming and outgoing mail. We routinely install/upgrade/patch with the Email Engine service disabled. We get a message stating the email engine wasn't enable or something like that at the end but never a failure. I had one issue a year go upgrade AR 7.5 to AR 7.6.04 where the email service would get removed and not recreated. I just added the service back after the install using the batch file.

Hence installer expect email engine be enabled.
