I think the first versions (VS.NET) of the Visual Studio Setup Projects had this issue - you didn't by any chance build your setup by reverse-engineering or Dark-ing an older VS Setup Project, did you?

Hi, I am facing the exact same problem, i.e. FindRelatedProducts happens long before the user is asked to choose the installation scope in the UI. How do I solve this? I tried <FindRelatedProducts After="InstallValidate" ></FindRelatedProducts> but that simply gave an error. Which install sequence must I use to have FindRelatedProducts running after ALLUSERS has been set?
