[wix-users] Related MSI Package Scope is PerUser During Bundle Upgrade

[Edwin Castro]

I have a bundle that installs a number of EXE and MSI packages.

My main MSI package has //Package/@InstallScope = "perMachine" yet in
the bundle log I see the following during upgrades:

[2018:0AB8][2016-09-06T16:02:08]i103: Detected related package:
{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}, scope: PerUser, version:
x.x.x.x, language: 0 operation: MajorUpgrade

In the bundle I have //MsiPackage/@ForcePerMachine = "yes" so I would
have expected the related package scope to be PerMachine rather than
PerUser. As a contrasting example, the related bundle has scope
reported as PerMachine:

[2018:0AB8][2016-09-06T16:02:08]i102: Detected related bundle:
{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}, type: Upgrade, scope:
PerMachine, version: x.x.x.x, operation: MajorUpgrade

The upgrade works as expected but the PerUser scope reported for the
related package has always confused me. Why is the related package
reported as PerUser?
