Thank you for your concern, but Yes, I do want the per-user/per-machine choice in my installer. - Only clients Windows 7 or higher are to be supported. - I only perform major upgrades. - The Setup Project msi allows this choice and thats what I'm replacing, so it must also offer the choice.
Have you a WixUI_*.xml that adds to WixUI_InstallDir.wxs a per-user/per-machine choice?
