Per Machine versus Per User Installation

The Windows Installer property ALLUSERS and the current user’s privileges determine where the configuration information such as shortcuts and registry entries are stored on the target system:  to the All Users profile or the current user’s profile.

1. Default setting for the ALLUSERS property, for SysTrackCloudEdition.msi, is equal to the number 1 <per-machine>

2. If ALLUSERS=1, the installer will perform a per-machine installation.  The per-machine installation succeeds only if the user has administrative access privileges on the computer.

3. If ALLUSERS=2, the installer first attempts a per-machine installation.  In this case, the per-machine installation succeeds only if the user has administrative access privileges on the computer, otherwise the installer does a per-user installation.

4. If ALLUSERS=””, the install will perform a per-user installation.
