Our application is currently installed as perUser, however we want to
switch to perMachine in the next upgrade.
The problem is that FindRelatedProducts/RemoveExistingProducts does
not appear to find the previous (perUser) install when installing the
new (perMachine) install, even when installing under the same user
account that installed the previous version. As a result, the old
version doesn't get uninstalled which leads to duplicate shortcuts,
duplicate add/remove program entries, and a host of other issues.
Any idea how I could get the old per-user product removed? I'm not
opposed to resorting to scripting if that's what it will take to get
it done.

Note that I don't expect it to ever work properly if you're installing
the upgrade from a different account than the original perUser install
- I just need the upgrade to work properly from at least that account.

Thanks,
Dave Wright
