Bob effectively already answered that.
The ALLUSERS property should not be set to anything by default.
In your user interface, if the user chooses "Everyone", set ALLUSERS to
1.
I can't remember off the top of my head if the ALLUSERS setting is
persisted anywhere. If not, you may need to store that setting yourself
and restore it (e.g. via a RegistrySearch) for uninstall and maintenance
operations.

Richard

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Resetting of 'ALLUSERS' property
Hi Bob,
Well thanks for your feedback.
So essentially 'ALLUSERS' property controls creating shortcuts for the
users. But i was wondering if there's any way, using WIX toolset, for us
to let the users choose if they want to install a shortcut for
'Everyone' or 'Just me'?
Thanks

I'm developing an installation package for a project using WIX toolset.
One of the requirements for the project is to let the end-user choose if
they want to install the application for just one user or for everyone
using the machine ( Just me/Everyone).
First thing: That choice has very little utility. There's no way to make
a single package actually per-user; it will still require elevation, for
example, on Vista. The only thing it's controlling is where shortcuts
appear.
As per my research, i can expose this using 'ALLUSERS' property whose
values are :
* 0 - Single User;
* 1 - Everyone;
* 2 - i don't remember
A per-user ALLUSERS is when ALLUSERS isn't defined. An ALLUSERS value of
0 isn't valid.
