We migrated our Window app from .net 1.1 to 2.0
* When we uninstall 1.1 and re-install 2.0 application, the application
re-install for every profile.
* This didn't happen with .NET 1.1 app.
* We are setting the SetUp properties 'InstallAllUsers' to true with 2.0

Event Viewer shows the following 2 error message for msi:

Detection of product '{Guid1}', feature 'DefaultFeature',
component '{Guid2}' failed.
The resource 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Manufacture\{Guid2}\DesktopFolder'
does not exist.

Detection of product '{Guid1}', feature 'DefaultFeature' failed during
request for component '{Guid3}'

I think the registry keys are entered under Current_User instead of
Local_MAchine.
How do we force the ley to go under Local_Machine ?

I have InstallAllUsers true and select 'Everyone' from radio button.

Is there any bug with VS 2005 setup ?
