The FastClose desktop client software will install in a Per User mode by default, within the user's Roaming AppData folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming), but this behaviour can be overridden.
If there is a previous Per Machine install of the client software or Remote Desktop Services is installed on the OS (Flag: VER_SUITE_TERMINAL) then the default install mode will be Per Machine.
If you are a System Administrator configuring centralized desktop management e.g. with Microsoft Intune, or you are installing on Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services) you may want to force the software to install mode to be Per Machine i.e. for all users, within the Program Files folder.
This can be achieved by passing the argument ALLUSERS=1 when installing with msiexec on the command line. This will require the user to have administrator rights as it installs the software to the Program Files folder (and write to HKLM for the Excel COM Add-In).
To install the client software Per Machine, use the following command line
msiexec /i <installer>.msi ALLUSERS=1
E.g., msiexec /i FastClose-ExcelAddIn-3.2.0.41.msi ALLUSERS=1
The /passive or /quiet options may be used for automated deployments to suppress the user interface
msiexec /i FastClose-ExcelAddIn-3.2.0.41.msi /passive ALLUSERS=1
Once installed Per Machine, subsequent upgrades will also install Per Machine, even if you omit the ALLUSERS=1 switch.
To switch between install modes, you will first need to uninstall the client software completely and start again.
