Does that persist across an upgrade? (Last time I checked, admittedly in v3.6, 
it didn't.)

If your msi package will always be launched by a burn bundle, then you could 
initialize and set Persisted=yes" on the burn string variable, which is then 
passed as a MsiProperty to the package.  But if the msi package will be 
launched by on-demand msiexec install due to advertising or a repair issue, or 
if the user would ever launch the msi directly, then the value of properties 
used in the initial install should be saved and initialized the next time the 
package is launched, as indicated previously.
