Hello, I'm run into a situation where the installer generated from WIX doesn't add itself to the add/remove programs file. Here is the case when this happens. The OS is Windows 2008.
When I install the msi as myself, I'm prompted for admin account (since I'm a non-privileged user on the system), I enter the admin account details, install it, everything is good. Going to the control panel add/remove programs, library is there. I uninstall, everything is good. When I open a command window, run as administrator, I'm prompted for admin account, perform the install, then go to the control panel add/remove programs, there is no entry. I have to track down the installer from the registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-...\Products\KEY\ to find the appropriate MSI installer form C:\Windows\Installer. Is this a bug or behavior by design? I would suspect that in all cases it should be in the add/removes table since the installing user is indeed an admin (same user in both cases).
