    Did you try to wrap the process spawning code for the installer inside ThreadPool.QueueWorkUserItem?

    UPDATE

    Try to decorate your WPF Hosted WCF Service with

    [ServiceBehavior(UseSynchronizationContext=false)]
    

    to stop servicing requests on the UIThread and thus make it possible to block on the process handle.
