On the Select installation Folder screen created by the
setup /deployment project there is an option to install
for all users (Everyone) and only me. Is there a way to
either change the default to Everyone at build time or
pass the msi file a command line argument to change this
from only me to everyone? I have an application to be
deployed on 1000 workstations which needs to be installed
by all users. Unfortunately as it utilizes crystal
reports merge modules I need to utilize a deployment
package. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in advance

Hi,

We have two options:

1. Use ORCA to edit the MSI package Property table and add ALLUSERS
property. Set the value to 1
2. Run it from command line: msiexec.exe /i yourmsi.msi ALLUSERS=1

If you want to disable the option to select per-user or per-machine, try
the quiet mode:

msiexec.exe /i yourmsi.msi /qn ALLUSERS=1

ORCA.exe is included in Installer SDK.

Best regards,
Bradley Jiang
