  </Product>

According to this tutorial if application will be installed by plain user then it will be installed "per user", if application will be installed by administrator, then it should be installed "per machine".
In my case if I run msi file as a plain user then this test application is installed per user.
But if I run cmd.exe "as administrator" and then run created msi file from that administrator's cmd.exe application then application is installed per user again, not per machine.
What should I do to install application per machine?
Should I change something in wxs code?
Or should I install my application using some other approach?

回答1:

Try setting ALLUSERS=1 on the msiexec.exe command line. This yields a per machine installation with shared shortcuts for all users:

msiexec.exe /i File.msi ALLUSERS=1 

This relates to the larger issue of "Installation context". Check out the linked MSDN documentation.

Recommended links:

• All users/Current user installation with/without Administrative privileges
• Setting the 'AllUsers' option on Wix installer does not work
• Authoring a single package for Per-User or Per-Machine Installation context in Windows 7
