[issue25071] Windows installer requires TargetDir parameter when installing quietly

New submission from Steve Dower:
If you run the installer without UI and without specifying an installation path, it will not install. For example:
C:\> python-3.5.0rc4-amd64-webinstall.exe /passive
The workaround is to specify TargetPath:
C:\> python-3.5.0rc4-amd64-webinstall.exe /passive TargetPath="C:\Python35_x64"
However, this workaround should not be necessary. We should use the default path based on the InstallAllUsers setting (false by default).
