msiexec /I "POV-Ray for Windows v3.7 beta 38 (64-bit).msi ALLUSERS=1 /qb- you
would have thought.

And it still insists on going in <homedir>\<user>\appdata\povray\...

Why can't it go in Program Files like everything else?  If you force it there it
will work for you - even then you have to fix the shortcut.  But no shortcuts
for anyone else, broken or otherwise, and a warning box that the application was
installed incorrectly when you run it direct from the executable.

So a plea please for a working installer designed for on multi-user systems, eg
for classroom use which is what I want to do.
