What I've done in the past is just include a ServiceControl element in the component:
<ServiceControl Id="iis5ServiceControl" Name="w3svc" Start="both" Stop="both" /> You might change the Start and Stop attributes to get what you want. I was installing an ISAPI filter. The schema might be a little different in WiX3, but you get the idea. You shouldn't need your own CA for this--the built in one in WiX should do what you want. You might also need to put a condition on it to ensure that IIS is installed or something.

I'm installing a site (web service) and also a windows service. The windows service uses the web service that I installed and the windows service is started on install. When uninstalling, the web services bin directory and its contents are left behind. If I manually stop IIS and then uninstall everything is fine. Can I have the uninstall process stop IIS during uninstalled and if so how do I go about this. Thanks in advance everyone.
