MSIDefaultInstallAllUsers – Set default installation mode of the MSI database

This option has an effect only when generation of a Windows Installer database is requested via the MSIFilename option.
When set to "1", the default installation mode of the generated MSI database is set to "per-machine". If you want the default mode to be "per-user", set this option to "0". Setting it to "2" will result in a default mode of per-machine for Administrators and a per-user for non-Administrators.
