Ah, why do I ask questions before I really take a good hard look?

The problem here seems to be that the InstallScope is not set to "perMachine" 
in my Project Tag (in fact it was missing altogether). 

I suppose it would be nice to get a little confirmation on this, but I am 
pretty sure I figured out the mystery.

Subject: [WiX-users] non-Profile specific class registration

My customer came to me a said that the software installs for only the current 
user. I didn't think there was anything user specific about the install and 
pointed them to look at other integration points. But after using Process 
Monitor to log registry activity I am not so sure!

Nowhere in my wxs files do I have HKCU and yet when I look at the all of the 
places that msiexec.exe does a RegSetValue 90% of the entries are to:

HKCU\Software\Classes\...whatever...

Where they should be HKCR\...whatever...

So my question is: did I miss something simple in the documentation on how to 
set the installer work of all users vs profile specific install?
