Because it requires loading other users' registry hives, MSI doesn't
support "cross-context" upgrades. So a per-machine install can't detect
upgrade a per-user install. MsiEnumRelatedProducts likely uses the same
logic.
My intent is not for a per-machine install to upgrade a per-user install. By default, my installer is per-user. I simply want to set ALLUSERS to "1" if the previous installation was per-machine.

If it's not set, that means it's a per-user install. In fact, it's the
only way of specifying a per-user install for a user with admin rights.
Did you use INSTALLPROPERTY_ASSIGNMENTTYPE? That should ignore the
tri-state ALLUSERS mess.
I understand and that is why I tried to get the ALLUSERS property. However, the previous install *is* per-machine. In testing, I installed it, selected "All Users" in the wizard, then confirmed that the shortcuts were written to the All Users Desktop and Start Menu.
I tried using MsiGetProductInfo with INSTALLPROPERTY_ASSIGNMENTTYPE, however the function returned the error "Unknown Property". Was I supposed to use this value with MsiGetProductInfo or is there another function I should be using?
Thanks for your time
