Setting the 'AllUsers' option on Wix installer does not work

Question

I am using a WiX to install a service on test machine. But when I do that only the user who installed it on the machine is able to see in the \'Add/Remove Programs\' control

Answer 1

Instead of setting ALLUSERS explicitly, try setting the InstallScope of the Package element to perMachine. According to the documentation, this fact:

Set this value to declare that the package is a per-machine installation and requires elevated privileges to install. Sets the ALLUSERS property to 1.

So, it should do the required job under the hood.
