I second that. However, it has already been discussed for a while
and at least the installer is now rather clear about what happens.
The default case works for new users, and people who generally care
about where programs are installed are probably those who know how
to execute an MSI with administrator privileges via command line.
Maybe it would be useful to explicitely mention this technique in
the warning message about required administrator privileges.

What I never quite grasped is the strong reluctance to provide the
installer in EXE format like 99% of all other consumer level apps.
Is it just to save 100 KB of extractor overhead?

The BCM_SHIELD solution also sounds nice but it would depend on
the selected target directory and require event handling of the
radio button (typically installer code is executed after the
next button is clicked and values are then read from the page).
