windows Installer – uninstalling previous version when the versions differ in installation policy (per-user, per-machine)

by

It’s not just a Visual Studio problem. Windows Installer doesn’t allow the installation context (user/machine) to change durin an upgrade. You have to perform logon as the user profile(s) that did the installation(s) and remove them before installing the new per-machine install.
