Question

Will happen if the per-user install is followed by an install running with administrator privileges (i.e. one triggered by the IT administrator)?

Answer

Say the admin installs the same app per machine. After this setup is done, User1 still sees the per-user installed app in ARP, and User1 cannot use the full functionalities in the per-machine installed app. But other users could use the per-machine installed app. So when MSI does a per-machine install, it does not uninstall the same app installed per-user for some particular user context.

If you’d like ensure the full functionalities of your app are available to all users, and some of them require admin privilege to install, please condition your setup to run for admin (see LaunchCondition Table and Privledged Property)
