[WiX-users] major upgrade of per-user install with per-machine install

I have a situation where version 2.0 of our product was set up with an option in the UI for user's to install at per-user or per-machine (bad design flaw). Now in the 3.0 version of our product it's per-machine by default. I've read that when toggling the ALLUSERS context in a major upgrade
