I was able to install it for me only, with UAC enabled, but I would like
to be able to use the "All Users" option as I do with most other software.

The problem is that by default you can't select "Run as administrator"
from the context menu for starting an MSI (elevating the privileges is
absolutely necessary even when logged in as administrator).
Here's a link how to modify your registry to enable this for MSI's
http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/msi-run-administrator-context-menu-vista
Note I didn't try this - holding on to XP until it crumbles to dust ;)

Sounds like the proper thing to do would be to have two
different msi packages for the two types of installation,
each marked with the appropriate flag.

Thanks! Why didn't Vista have this by default?

I need to install it for "All Users" as all my graphics programmes are in
C:\Graphics

That's very sad.
Have you already tried some data recovery tools? I have had some success with
the freeware programs: testdisk and photorec (the latter is for all kinds of
documents not only photos as the name suggests), which are both freeware. Maybe
there's still hope to get your files back?
