You could have a race condition (we did). I don't know if it's Windows
Installer or a WiX Custom Action that stops services but, it appears
that it continues when the service controller reports that the service
is stopped. The service controller reports a service as stopped when
the service successfully responds to a stop request (i.e. a ServiceBase
based class' OnStop method completes successfully). But, the files are
in-use until the process exits. If your OnStop method just starts the
shutdown and then returns, you have a problem. Your OnStop method
should start the shutdown of the service threads and then wait for them
to complete before it exits.

I did that,
<Component...>
<File ... Name="MyService.exe" >
</File>
<ServiceControl Id="MyService" Name="MyService.exe" Stop="uninstall"
Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes">
<ServiceArgument> /d "[INSTALLDIR]EF.G"</ServiceArgument>
</ServiceControl>
</Component>
I still get "file-in-use" popup when uninstall.(Stop service is happened
after CostFinilize, InstallValidate)

You should be able to just schedule the service to be stopped and no
file-in-use error should occur.

I have a service installed by my installer. I'll run after install. I
want to remove it before uninstall. Also don't want to get the "file in
use" popup.

Thanks,

1. Not as far as I know.
2. That doesn't make any sense to me. CostInitialize happens long
before the transaction that installs things happens.

Can I schedule a custom action that using the directory manager before
costinitialize?
If not, is there a way to run an application that installed by the msi
before costinitialize?
Thanks,
