For an ISV, you'll have to provide an uninstall utility with instructions for
it to run in the context of every user who ever installed the product. For
an enterprise, running that in a GPO assigned user logon script.

I was afraid this was the case. Is there a typical approach to fixing this
mistake when pushing an upgrade to a product that is already out in the wild?

Upgrades ( including Major ) can't migrate an installed application from
per-user to all-users. You have to first uninstall the app for each user who
might have installed it and then reinstall the application as all user. This
servicing ugliness is the reason for MSI Tao Rule # 30.

In my initial realease of a product, the installer left the ALLUSERS
property undefined. As a result, the software seems to be installed per-user
instead of for all users on the system. When I correct this and set the
ALLUSERS property to 1, the upgrade fails to remove the old version. If, in
the new installer, I leave ALLUSERS undefined, upgrade works as expected.
What should I do to remove the previous versions?
