The way I've dealt with this was to run a custom action that copies
the files to a backup before the upgrade install transaction begins,
i.e. the CA was immediate and sequenced before InstallInitialize.
Its kinda hacky; I'd rather that Windows Installer not remove modified
files during an upgrade, but I can see how that would be problematic
to get right in all circumstances.
