Force install to install for all users?

How do I make sure the installed product is installed for all users on the machine, not just the installing user?

For MSI projects, setting the ALLUSERS property to 1 will install a product per-machine (this is the default for Basic MSI projects).

InstallScript projects also default to per-machine if the launching user has admin privileges. The ALLUSERS variable can be set to TRUE in script to install per-machine.

Currently I don't have an ALLUSERS property in my property manager but if the default is set to install for all users I am not sure what my problem is. If I install as one user but switch over to another I don't see my application in the Add/Remove programs

The ALLUSERS property needs to be added to the Property Manager and set to a value of 1 to install for all users. This property may not be present if the project was created in older versions of InstallShield.

Thanks for the reply. I will try that and see how it works.
