The MSI is written by a third party and it is explicitly written to only setup
the service if the MSI is installed per-machine. When the MSI is installed
per-user, it suppresses the "setup" and "launch" service steps (probably
because there is no elevation available). They also wrote it such that Burn's
detection code identifies it as a per-user MSI, which appears to have been
their intent.
The UI phase of the MSI detects the possibility of installing per-machine and
sets that for the user, that code is not duplicated in the install phase (and
I'm not sure if it would work if it were). I felt it would be easier on Burn if
Hendryk set ForcePerMachine instead of adding <MsiVariable Id="ALLUSERS"
Value="1"/>
