A potential customer informs us that they require installers to be
able to run without elevation.

I see two problems with this approach:
#1: Every user of a given PC will have to install the app separately
#2: ...so my potential "malware" will run no matter what, as long as
one of these users are logged in (i.e.: what is the point of the
requirement?)

(I am probably missing something)

The app in question attempts to share the same printer configuration
among all the users of a given PC. So we store the printer
configuration under %allusersprofile%. The installer will set write
permissions for that folder so that our users can freely modify this.
(not ideal, but the alternative seemed worse)

So, has anyone written a 'best practices' document on this topic? More
specifically I'd like to learn how to transform a perMachine setup
into a perUser setup (setting ALLUSERS="" was not enough).

I just realized I haven't tried to run a perSeat installer as admin
(and set ALLUSERS=1) -- would that be enough to ensure that shortcuts
are made available for all users?
