Well I dont know really how it happens in production but I managed to
reproduce it :

- stop guardian service
- it stops server service (normal behavior)
- just restart server service and let guardian stopped

so instsvc looked for guardian because it's installed this way, saw
that guardian is stopped and didnt check server.

well, I think we dont have to ask instsvc to handle it but the batch
has to check before stopping with "instsvc q" if the two services are
running.
