If you want to shut down and remove a component service programmatically,
you can use Component Services Administration (COMAdmin) objects to acheive
it, I suggest you manipulate the COMAdmin objects in a vbs file in order
you can call it in a custom action in your installer program.

For details of how to shut down and remove a component service in a vbs
file, please refer to the following MSDN article and related newsgroup
thread, which has a helpful sample on this issue:
