[wix-users] Windows User is removed after Major Upgrade

[Simon Ruetzler]

Hello,
I created an Installer which creates an user. (This is based on the 
FireGigant Tutorial 
https://www.firegiant.com/system/files/samples/SampleFirst.zip)

If I install my program the user is created.
If I uprade (Major upgrade) to a newer version the user is deleted 
during RollbackCleanup.

Why is the user deleted after the upgrade?
Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my installer configuration?
