One other thing...I CAN find my application under:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-
18\Products\GUID

but not under the CurrentVersion\Uninstall (where it is much easier to
find based on my product code being the key).  Any help anyone can offer
as to why the Uninstall key wouldn't automatically get written would be
awesome.

Thanks,

Amy

Bob,

I thought of that and checked.  The InstallScope attribute is set to
"perMachine".

Per-user applications write to HKCU instead of HKLM. See 
Package/@InstallScope.
