MSI editing with Orca
an ex-officemate before asked me on how to remove the "Just me" option for .NET application setup packages when i bumped into this KB.  i haven't really checked out Orca MSI editor until last week when i couldn't figure out how to change the default virtual directory where the web setup project will install so i downloaded the sdk (i later found out the editors for the setup project).

previously we were using the ALLUSERs switch, msiexec -i <MSI setup> ALLUSERS=1, since Visual Studio Installer doesn't have that option to All/Just me option..

Actually, you can turn the option off and set a default value from within Visual Studio .NET

First is in the properties of the Setup Project, select your default value from the property InstallAllUsers, then show the User Interface Editor window, expand Install node and click on Installation Folder to view its properties. Then just set the InstallAllUserVisible to false so that the option will be hidden.

my bad, i checked with vs2003 and i werent able to find the same feature with vs2005, i haven't had that much experience with the vs2003 setup project compared to vs2005 which i had been using lately. anyway, it's a good thing they were able to include this in the new version, it will prevent developers to re-open the msi with orca after the setup has been built.
