Hi guys,
 
This is more of a general Windows Installer issue than a WiX issue, but I thought I'd solicit the feedback of the list as many of you will certainly have useful opinions.
 
Essentially, last year when I was still quite new with WiX and WI, I built an installer that really really should have been per machine and should have specified ALLUSERS=1, but I didn't know about that and got a per user install instead.  The software installs an IIS add-on and is definitely machine specific. 
 
Now, I'm having the problems you would expect with major upgrades and even simple uninstalls, in that only the user who installed the software can uninstall it or detect that it is installed properly. 
 
What would you do?  I plan to change future versions to do per machine installs, but it would be nice if I had a way to fix the mess I've created.  This software is for internal consumption and hasn't been installed broadly, so I have a reasonable chance of chasing down most of the installs.
 
All insights are greatly appreciated.
