I just want to add that there is one more option, very similar to storing property value in registry - storing it in the .ini file and use IniFileSearch.
Murray, thanks for being so kind. I'm glad you found Major Upgrade post useful.

Another thing which I would love is the ability to migrate the properties too, like the database name etc. Is there any secret similar Migrate Properties custom action somewhere by chance?
