[wpkg-users] MSI install issues

It depends on what the author of the MSI has set as default. Microsofts 
default for MSIs is per-user install.

That seems to work, why would I need not need to supply that on all of the 
msi files?

Did you set any properties? Try ALLUSERS=1 - this helps most MSI install 
the Shortcuts into %ALLUSERSPROFILE% instead of %USERPROFILE%.
