msi not register with Add/Remove program
But if I manually run the same script after I've logon with my account which is part of local admin group then it's showing in the add/remove program.

I know it's been a while, but someone may come across this thread, just like I just did, searching for clues...
In my case it was the ARPNOMODIFY=1 set in the original MSI's Property table. The MSI installed per system, puts all the Installer and Uninstall entries in the registry where expected (all HKLM, not the User's) but still not showing in the "Change or Remove" list.
To fix this on the existing configuration, without removing and reinstalling anything, I first lookup the local cache file for the MSI, getting it from the registry here: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserDtat\S-5-18\Products\<flippedProductCodeGUID>\LocalPackage=C:Windows\Installer\<something>.MSI
(one can use the HKCR\Installer shortcut, too...)
then I go and edit that package with ORCA, change the APRNOMODIFY to eual 0, save, then run repair against the very same locally cached MSI. Right after that it comes up showing on the list.
msiexec.exe /i "EDIS 4.2.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /m MSISPQJA /qn /l*v C:\medhost.log
msiexec.exe /i "EDIS 4.2.msi" ALLUSERS=2 /m MSISPQJA /qn /l*v C:\medhost.log
In order to View the ARP entry make ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=0 or remove this property from your MSI.
the value of the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT doesn't matter so you would need to remove it
