Hi Yuri, I'd recommend using MSI-internal functions to uninstall and uninstall services instead of Custom Actions. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_serviceinstall.htm for installation and http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_servicecontrol.htm for removal.
To avoid the message, simply stop the service before MSI runs its validation routines.
