Upgrading QlikView Server with IIS reverts the service account passwords to the one used in the original insallation

When performing an upgrade of a QlikView installation done with IIS, and the password for the service account has been changed in the meantime, performing the upgrade will result in the password for each QlikView service on the server to be reverted to the original one. This means that the services will not start until the password is changed for each service.

Environment:

Found in QlikView 12.20 and 12.30 with IIS - other versions might be affected
