Preserve IIS web site settings after upgrade

I have a product and part of it is web site (hosted on IIS). By default during installation I only allow Windows authentication. Sometimes customers enabling basic authentication manually if they need and which is ok.

After upgrading the product, the upgrade process wipes this manual configuration and customer needs to re-enable basic authentication. Is there any way to preserve IIS web site settings during upgrade?

Preserving settings on a major upgrade requires a late scheduled RemoveExistingProducts, eg: after InstallExecute? We did a lot of work in Wix 3.5 to try to make the IIS 7 custom actions work better with repair & upgrade.
