I'm curious: if you move the component that is per-user into a separate
feature, would you still get the reboot?
The reason is that in this scenario, when the new user starts up the system,
and Windows Installer discovers that the per-user component "isn't installed"
it first starts a repair. It will always start the repair on the smallest scope
possible (the feature containing the missing component). If that feature can be
repaired without a reboot, then there would never have been a problem.
