This part may be fixed by implementing the proposal in bug 117492.

And this part of question is simply false. Current installer *does* read and
keep the user preferences; it must reinstall the same components you've
installed last time with previous version's installer. The process is that it
reads the installed components state first; then shows you the UI, where the
installed component state is honoured; then uninstall the previous installation
fully; then installs the new version with those components that were either
recorded from previous installation, or changed by user in the UI.

I don't know if there would be regressions implementing the said bug 117492 (of
course, our famous last words are "I'm sure it will work!"); but *possibly* it
could also fix this problem without any additional logic (because in that case,
no uninstallation would take place, only removal of replaced/obsoleted files) -
but I don't actually know enough on that matter. Failing that, the proper way
would be implementing the jump lists API in our shell extension / program, and
thus keep the data in the user profile (thus having no troubles with upgrades
that don't affect it). Direct registry manipulation here isn't the most
attractive way.
