I think you want to set the install to "All Users".
<Property Id="ALLUSERS">2</Property>
This will install the package for all users and all the admins can see it in
add/remove then. Your package thinks it's user specific, when clearly it's not.

Subject: [WiX-users] Add\Remove Programs issue
Not sure if this is a WiX issue, but I will see what you all have to say....
Here's the situation:
Created an MSI (always created with the same GUIDS as I am still creating
the initial package to be released)
Installed it as a Domain Admin (and Domain Admins are part of the local
Admin group) on a server
Looked in Add\Remove Programs and I can see the entry.
All seems good but....here is the problem
Another Admin logs in a few days later and wants to apply a newer build of
the same MSI already installed so they go into Add\Remove to remove the
previous MSI and the entry is not there. However, I can log in and still
see the entry in Add\Remove and successfully remove the install. The other
admin can not remove the previous install. If they try to install the new
build, it will simply let them install it right over the previous
build...even though the GUIDs are the same.
Here is what I have checked.
Both users are logged in as Domain Admins and Domain Admins are part of the
local Admin Group.
The registry keys located @
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Product GUID} are
there and can be located in the registry as either the user than can see the
entry in control panel and the user that can not see the entry in
Add\Remove.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
