Installed programs don't show up in programs and features

We have configured an exe of Grammarly app in software distribution. It does not show up in programs and features but it is installed. When i run the exe manually, it’s entry gets created in programs and features.

Try to run the exe from a command line using /? to see if any switches are available. It sounds like you are missing an option to install for all users.

There are no switches available. I tried ALLUSERS=1 but it does not work. Manual installation, running the exe from fixlet debugger creates entry. Just from bigfix it is not doing that:

waithidden cmd.exe /c “C:\CNO\GrammarlyAddInSetup.exe” /silent /fastforallmode /ALLUSERS=1

Those are MSI parameters, not likely to work with a .EXE installer. Check the vendor’s documentation for how to perform a system-wide installation rather than a per-user installation, I’m not familiar with this product.

It is likely adding its Add/Remove Programs entry into the current user registry hive rather than the HKLM registry hive.

Thank you so much for directing there. I checked and you were right , It is adding its Add/Remove Programs entry into the current user registry hive rather than the HKLM registry hive.
