Talk about to the tail wagging the dog. Customer requirements should dictate
installation behavior, not the installation technology being used.
There are a number of ways to work around this limitation of MSI. Some
involve code changes to the service exe and some require using alternative
methods to publish the assembly and/or start the service. But to imply that
MSI is perfect ( works as contructed is the term Microsofties like to use ) and
that the requirement must therefore be void reminds me of the side of MSI that
I really don't like.

The problem isn't anything to do with Vista, its because your service
has a dependency on something in the GAC and the files don't really
appear in the GAC until after the Commit phase of the install.
Just mark your service as starting automaticly and you shouldn't have
any problem. Then Windows will start the service when its needed.
Why do you think that you must start your service before the install
finishes?
