Steps to reproduce

1. Download the MSI for v7.2.2 and run it.
   a. Use a custom directory (in my case I choose D:\PowerShell)
   b. Untick the options to update automatically through Windows Update or WSUS.
2. Now download the MSI for v7.2.3 and run it.
3. When you reach the page for the installation directory, it shows the default directory in C:\Program Files.
4. When you reach the page for automatic updates, both options are ticked.

Expected behavior

The installer for a new version should respect the options that were selected for the previous verison.

Actual behavior

The installer for a new version uses the default options.
