The upgrade reinstalls the service. If you want to run the service as
another user (which isn't recommended anyway) you'll have to do that on
each upgrade. CVSNT has its own settings for running as a specific user
- it's recommended you use those instead.

The write to the file is always done on a temporary file, then renamed.
