Description remsy

Steps to reproduce (1.9.0 Build 3652):

Download the Oomph Installer from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.oomph/downloads and run it.

- change to advanced mode
- add a User Product.
- configure proxy
- start installation
- installation is successfull

After a new start of the installer, the configured User Product is still available, but the initial state (like Advanced Mode) and proxy configuration is cleared.

It would be very useful to have these settings saved and reused for following installations.

These proxy settings and the model are stored in the configuration of the installer.  But if you are using the Windows native executable, that's basically a self-extracting zip file and it creates a new fresh clean installer each time.  

If you keep the unpackaged installer in a permanent location, and reuse that instance (which can also be updated in place, so no need every to download a new installer again), the preferences should be saved permanently with that installation.

Works like a charm!
