Yes, ServiceControl controls services by name.

Thank you. I have a follow up question. Can ServiceControl be used to Stop and
Uninstall as service which is not installed as part of this MSI. What I
currently have is to have a custom action install the Service and custom
actions to stop and uninstall the service, like this,
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='SetJava' After='InstallFinalize' />
<Custom Action='InstallService' After='SetJava'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action='SetUninstallJava' Before='RemoveFiles'
/>
<Custom Action='StopService'
After='SetUninstallJava'>Installed AND NOT REINSTALL</Custom>
<Custom Action='UnInstallService'
After='StopService'>Installed AND NOT REINSTALL</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Sometime I noticed that the files used as part of the service were not being
removed on uninstall and the installer prompts with 'You need to reboot your
computer'. So I wanted to try what would happen if try to stop and remove the
service using ServiceControl. Can it be done? If yes, under which component
would I need to put the ServiceControl.
Thanks,

No, Windows Installer's ServiceInstall support requires that the service be
installed:
Note that to install this service using the InstallService[sic] table, the
KeyPath for this component must be the executable file for the service.
