OK, thanks again, that hint and a lot of searching finally got me to a
solution. Which is (this solution is for the case where default should
be a single-user install):
In the non-UI part of your project, place a definition similar to the
following:
<Property Id="I_USERS">cur</Property> <!-- cur or all -->
Do NOT try to define a default null value for the ALLUSERS property. As
far as I can determine it is not possible to define ALLUSERS to a null
value using a <Property> element.
In the UI dialog box your radio buttons should look like this:
<Control Id="UsersRBs" Type="RadioButtonGroup" X="26" Y="140"
Width="305" Height="45" Property="I_USERS" Text="I_USERS">
<RadioButtonGroup Property="I_USERS">
<RadioButton Value="cur" X="0" Y="0" Width="295" Height="16"
Text="Install for current user." />
<RadioButton Value="all" X="0" Y="20" Width="295"
Height="16" Text="Install for all users." />
</RadioButtonGroup>
</Control>
And the Next pushbutton control should include these two lines:
<Publish Property="ALLUSERS" Value="{}">I_USERS =
"cur"</Publish> <!-- set null value -->
<Publish Property="ALLUSERS" Value="1">I_USERS =
"all"</Publish>
That's it.
If I've misunderstood something I'd be very happy to hear about it.

Thanks.
But how is it possible from a dialog box to choose "per-user"
and "per-machine" installs?
Can you define a property on-the-fly from a radio button
control?
Are there examples of how to do this somewhere?
(I know that Wise for Windows Installer somehow supports this.)
Thanks again.
Rennie

For reasons long to the mists of time, ALLUSERS=0 isn't
a valid value; only 1, 2, and null are, per the ALLUSERS Property topic
in the MSI SDK.
