This article describes how to remove the radiobuttons and associated
choices.

Visual Studio doesn't have a dialog editor in the IDE, which is why Orca is
used. The article doesn't seem to say anything about forcing the Everyone
choice - you can do this by adding a row to the Property table that says
ALLUSERS in the Property column and 1 in the Value column. ALLUSERS is
case-sensitive. It's a Windows Installer property that causes a per-machine
installation (and the Everyone/Just Me button choice sets the value when you
have them).

Hi,

I've also just finished solving this, using the ALLUSERS property.

So that the ALLUSERS property does not have to be added EVERY time
the setup project is rebuilt, I created an empty Merge Module (using
a Merge Module project) and used Orca to add the ALLUSERS property to
it, then added that merge module to the main setup project (as a
file, NOT as a project output reference).
