Summary:                    WiX : Remember the INSTALL_ROOT directory for
upgrades
Description: 
If a user installs to a custom directory, upon upgrade the directory dialog
initializes to the standard location again. 
It would be nice if it started at the previously used custom location.

I think this could help:

Additional Information: 
I'm in the process of implementing this in my wxs files. But I think it would be
a feature that would make sense for the standard.
