ServiceControl Wait not working in Windows 8.1

[wixbot]

During a Major Upgrade, or an uninstall/reinstall, my installer does not wait for the service to be completely uninstalled and removed before continuing.

<ServiceControl Id="testService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="myService" Wait="yes"/ >

In Windows 7, it works as expected, but in 8.1, I get an error(with prompts to ignore, retry or cancel) when the reinstall attempts to start the new service.

sc query in command prompt shows the service is stopped, but not uninstalled at the time of the error. Eventually the service gets removed and I can continue my install

This is Windows Installer behavior, not WiX. Generally, your service needs to shut down quickly (within 30 seconds).
