Steve Dower added the comment:

Just an incorrect variable reference in the localization file. Should be easy 
enough to fix (if the variable is initialized at the start of installation...)

[issue25163] Windows installer in AllUsers mode presents wrong installation path

[Christian Ullrich]

New submission from Christian Ullrich:

When run with InstallAllUsers=1, the Windows installer displays 
(%LOCALAPPDATA%)\Programs\Python\Python35 as the installation target directory, 
but actually installs into the path for a system-wide installation, 
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Python 3.5".

Ceterum censeo: This bug could have been avoided, and would certainly have been 
detected in time, by using MSI as the distribution package format. Because most 
MSI UI will display TARGETDIR as the target directory, an accidental override 
(or missing override) of this path would have been obvious.
