Given that Microsoft recommends per-user:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367559%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

And that  ProgramMenuFolder,ProgramFilesFolder etc.. are set according to the
installation context, I wonder what we are doing wrong in the current wxs.

It looks to me like we should try fixing the start menu path to be for the
current user only. That way we wouldn't break upgrade, the client would 
remain per-user (by default), and thus could be used by activex auto-install
eventually.
