Hah, hah! This is a client relations problem not a WIX problem.
QUOTE: ...and the client has decided that this limitation is unacceptable... 1. Make a list of the actions in your MSI that require administrative privileges. 2. Decide if you can do away with them? Yes/No If the answer is no, then it doesn't matter what the client asks for, he doesn't get it. Educate the customer on the reality of the situation. If yes, then since you don't know how to do it, it will be a lot of work (otherwise you wouldn't be posting in this forum) so tell the customer it is a lot of work, give them a pretty high cost and ask them to pay for it. If they pay for it, great. If not, then you don't have to do it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Convert AllUsers Install to PerUser John, I don't believe you can do it as an "upgrade" i.e. all in one go. An installer is either per-user or per-machine. You can't upgrade a per-machine install to per-user install or vice-versa. I think your only option is to un-install your previous version and then install the new one as two separate actions. In order to do that, you'll need a bootstrapper.
