Well, unless running an elevated advertised installation, of course. I'm
coming to the conclusion that that's what per-user installs are for.

I guess I just thought that 2 was more appropriate as a general setting
because it doesn't cause an error during installation if the user is not
running as an admin. If sending the shortcut to the all-users desktop is
critical to the installation, than ALLUSERS=1 would indeed be better. I
guess I should have made my answer more specific.
It takes a great deal of extra logic to properly support falling back to a
true per-user setup. Non-admins can't install to Program Files, for example.
It's more than just the profile directories.
