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.

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1,  ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
