[wix-users] 64-bit app shows up twice on Win10, once as 32-bit and once as 64-bit

[Joel Budreau]

The windows control panel looks in the following registry locations to
determine what programs are installed, I'd check these first:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\... (64bit
installs)
HKLM\WOW6432Node\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\...
(32bit installs)

See if you have two entries on Win10 and only one on Win7.
