-A file will be created by the installer in the BOINC data directory called client_init.xml which contains the username and base64 encoded password for `boinc_project_<ComputerName>`. The first time the client starts up after install it will read the file and store an encrypted form of the data in a new file using !CryptProtectData/CryptUnprotectData. After reading in the client_init.xml file it will be deleted. ''Can this be done with a deferred custom action?''

-Each time an installation occurs, both of the account passwords will be reset and a new randomly generated password will be used.

+Account passwords are managed as follows:
+ * The installer creates a file 'client_auth.xml' in the BOINC data directory containing the name and base64 encoded password of the boinc_project account.
+ * The password properties are added to !SecureCustomProperties to prevent them being logged.
+ * The password for boinc_master is managed by Windows.
+
+On each installation, both of the account passwords are randomly regenerated.
