InstallAllUsers property of an .msi install

Does Visual Studio 2003 support this property? It's not in the UI properties
sheet for a Package and Deployment project, like it is in Visual Studio 2005.

I was hoping there's some 'behind-the-scenes' way of changing it.

I'm working on an install Package that really needs to have the install for
Everyone radio button selected by default.

Any solution would be greatly appreciated, however it is achieved.

Do a search on FolderForm_Allu sers. This is an internal property in the MSI
file generated by VS 2003. It defaults to a string value of ME that you need
to set to ALL in the MSI file's property table. To force an all users
install when you do a silent install, you also need to add an entry for
ALLUSERS set to a value of 1.

Hi, I have a web deployment project that asks for the port number in the standard dialog (along with the virtual directory). I also install a web service and this does not have an associated dialog. How do I use the port number (filled in the first dialog) when installing the web service? I reckon I should change the propety for the port of the web service, perhaps in a custom action, but I don't know how to make this change. I already...

I created a CAB file for a 3rd party control (StockChartX) it using CABARC.exe that comes from Microsoft SDK. In the CAB file I included the StockChartX.ocx and StockChartX.INF.

This is my first custom installer and essentially I needed to create one that installed windows installer 3.1 then installed .Net 2.0 Service Pack 1. I could not find a pre-packaged .Net 2.o SP 1 installer package anywhere so this is my attempt. The problem seems to be that when I first created it if .NET 2.0 was installed it would not install .NET 2.0 SP1 so I commented out the line where it checks but that leads the installer to try...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
