I have seen numerous threads regarding forcing an "Everyone" install and even
removing the radio buttons, but I actually wish to not even allow the user to
select the install location [BUT] force it install for Everyone.

I saw one thread about a Property called ALLUSERS, but it's not in my
Property Table. Can I create a SETUP.INI that can provide this, or simply
edit the MSI using some vbscript - so that a build process can take care of
this automagically?

Thanks

I found the fix. A buddy who was done a ton of install customization pointed
me to the MSI vbscripts in the installer SDK. I was able to insert the
ALLUSERS = 1 property and that worked like a champ.
