LKBEN11645: How to always install a setup project for all users?


Symptom

You need to create a setup project but it needs to be installed for all users and the never for a single user.

Cause

This can be configured in the setup project.

Solution

To create a setup project for all users, you need to set the "InstallAllUsers" to true. This can be done in the Properties of the project.

If you want to make it impossible for the user to choose between "allusers" and "single user" you will have to delete the "Installation folder" from the "User Interface Editor".

Have fun.
