Installed program not visible to all users

Question

I am using wix setup to install some package. When I install it, it appears in "Programs and Features" in control panel. It is visible to some users not all, and they can uninstall it as well.

Problem is when the other user who can not see what I installed in control panel, when he installs something I can't see it. I can install the same package again and it won't complain that it already exists.
