There is a property ALLUSERS for NT and W2K to install app for all users as per machine.  Is there a way to do the same for windows 98 and ME?

95/98 install for all users of the machine, regardless of the value that is set for ALLUSERS in the property table.  I'm not sure what the behavious is for Me, but I'm assuming that it would be the same, given it is the successor to 98.

When user profiles are enabled for Windows 98 (haven't tested other version) Windows Installer does put the Start Menu shortcuts in just the profile of the user who did the installation.

In fact, if I manually copy these shortcuts to another user's start menu I get a Windows installer error when they are used.

Any way to work around this issue? I would like to install the application for all users (profiles). Is this possible on Win9x with user profiles enabled?
