InstallAllUsers property not found

I am investigating a client installation problem and am building a new test add-in project with an ADX Setup Project for Visual Studio 17 Installer. I have noticed that this now creates a per-user install and I cannot find the InstallAllUsers property on the Add-in designer where it always used to be. Has it been move. How else do I make a per-machine install? Just changing the property on the Setup project does not seem to work.

Thanks

Hello Mike,

InstallAllUsers is a property available on .VBProj projects. You look for RegisterForAllUsers. But simply changing it isn't enough. Find a check list in section Deploying a per-machine Office extension via an MSI installer, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.

Thanks Andrei

What had me fooled was that it apparently disappears when the add-in is registered. Once I in-registered there it was.
