My setup is installing a service, and I want to make sure the service is stopped and deleted on uninstall. Can I create a single component that both installs and controls the service? Or do I need to create two separate components for this (one to install and one to control)?

Yes, you only need one component. In fact I believe it would be wrong to use more than one component. Just make the necessary entries in the ServiceInstall and ServiceControl Tables.
I am not sure how to do it with ISWI

In ISWI you control services from the Component Advanced Settings area. There you can select the actions required for your service.
In a typical execute sequence StopServices and DeleteServices actions appear soon after InstallInitialize. InstallServices and StartServices appear soon before InstallFinalize. This allows you to stop and restart a service during an upgrade etc.

Thanks. I didn't think there would be a problem combining them into one component. But since the ISWI Component wizard had install and control services as separate entities, I thought there may have been a reason behind it. The InstallShield people don't think there's any problem with it either.
