Summary0001213: Admin-level installer modifies per-user directories
Description

This should not happen at all because it is the wrong thing to do. Installing software system-wide should never result in a different outcome for the one user who did the install compared to all other users on the system
InnoSetup even warns about this fact:

Warning: The [Setup] section directive "PrivilegesRequired" is set to "admin" but per-user areas (userappdata,userdesktop,userprograms) are used by the script. Regardless of the version of Windows, if the installation is administrative then you should be careful about making any per-user area changes: such changes may not achieve what you are intending. See the help file for more information.
TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

InnoSetup 6 will make this considerably easier. I'd defer this change until we upgrade to IS6 (i.e. keep the current behaviour for OpenMPT 1.28 as noone ever complained about it)

I noticed it's installing Start Menu links for the current user too (in my case System, because installing from a startup script). Look forward to the new version, thanks.
