[Hoover, Jacob]

Also I don't think it's possible to detect other users per-user installed products.

Have you considered wrapping your MSI in a Burn bundle that does the detection, or write a UI for the MSI the runs a custom action early in its life

Intetesting. Sounds like a chicken and egg problem. We don't know the context until the user selects it and at that point it is too late to have standard actions enforce the previous context.
