Stopping the service is not sufficient in all cases. You need to remove the windows installer service from the windows services manager. I have seen installers that will start the service for themselves if it isn't running.

I am working on a locked down desktop via GPO's and according to the MS document it sugests that you disable the Windows Installer server. I am assuming by doing this would not allow Installation Manager to function? Can someone conform this?
