>>Hi Cathi,
>>Thanks for your reply. What is "Orca"? I tried to open the msi file with notepad (notepad.net <s>) and did a search for "allusers". From what I could see in notepad is seems that it is already set to "ALL".

>>So the only way of changing the FolderForm_AllUsers is to "hack" the msi file? Is it not possible to do this through the setup project?

>>>Hi Einar,

>>>In Windows Installer terms, it sets the ALLUSERS property to 2 if Everyone
>>>is selected. Internally it's driven by the value of the FolderForm_AllUsers property which defaults to "ME" without the quotes. So if you go into the MSI file with Orca and edit the value of FolderForm_AllUsers from ME to ALL it will default to Everyone instead of Just Me.

Everything works great and it was a pleasure to create a windows service with .NET, but is there any way I can change the default setting for the radio button group on the Select Install Folder screen to have "Everyone" selected instead of "Just me" selected?
