To understand this issue: your application (when it was per-user) was
installed into the original user's account (not the admin's account). The
admin simply allowed the installation (in UAC it is called
"over-the-shoulder" authorization).

Most installations should have Package/@InstallScope set to declare exactly
what kind of installation they are.

Yes, setting the InstallScope to perMachine seems to have solved this issue.
Thanks.
