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_Allusers. 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.
