[issue17770] MSI installer default behaviour inconsistent

[Harry Johnston]

New submission from Harry Johnston:

When installing python-2.7.4.msi via the GUI, the default setting for the installation type is "All Users".

When installing it passively, e.g.

msiexec /package python-2.7.4.msi /passive

the default installation type is "Just For Me", or at least that is how it is behaving - no entry is added to Uninstall Programs, the Start Menu entries are created for the current user only, and registry entries are created in HKCU instead of HKLM.

This makes enterprise deployments difficult.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1.
