What makes you think that? There are quite a few programs, including
InstallShield, that start their own services without the process being
started beforehand.
You could start with pulling +advapi,+relay log of "net start" executing
to try to figure out what is going wrong. My guess would be that either
svchost or the DLL isn't notifying the SCM of its started status.
