Here is my .wxs file contents:

When running the installer, the files are copied to the install folder, the registry entry is created, and the service installs and starts without issues. However, on uninstall, the service is not stopped or removed. The service can be created, started, stopped, and removed without issue using sc.exe.
The underlying application is a .NET 8 BackgroundService Worker.
Any ideas?
