You have to do it manually.

Subject: [WiX-users] Simple question about properties

How do I mark a property so that its value is retained for uninstall or
repair modes?  I thought this was done automagically, but it doesn't
seem to be working.

For example, during install I ask the user to select a sql server.
Installation scripts are deployed to this server.  During uninstall, I
have a separate uninstall script that has to be deployed to the same sql
server.  I don't want to prompt the user again, I just want to remember
what was selected during install.

Do I have to manually save the property in my own registry key on
install and retrieve it on uninstall?  Or is there some way to just mark
the property so that it persists?

Thanks,
