Or you could use Orca or similar tools to just look at your old MSI. IMO, it's best to get used to using tools like these, as they will make debugging issues much easier and it makes it possible to compare two MSI's to figure out what's changed.

I'd had it set "perUser" because it sounded the most similar to what I had set as installscope for my previous package, I believe. I don't dare open it up in VS 2010 to look at what it says. I've rebuild with "perMachine" and "elevated" and I'll send off for a test-install to the guy that had the previous issues.
