Maintain the user's setting for a service after a minor upgrade
I'm installing a windows Sevice with my MSI setup. If users change the "Startup type" property of the service from Manual to Automatic (or vice versa), and then they apply a patch, their setting for Startup Type will be set back to default. Is there a way to maintain the user's setting for services after a minor upgrade?

I would like to know the answer to this too as this is one of the reasons we're still using InstallScript projects and not MSI because we can control this kind of thing from script in InstallScript.
