You could certainly do this; it would avoid the need for a
bootstrapper. You'd basically set a launchcondition to look for the
old product. This would work reasonably well if you were forcing
ALLUSERS to a particular value and it didn't match the existing
product's value of ALLUSERS.
Are you trying to force per-machine or per-user or are you letting the
user choose?
