InstallForCurrentUser does not install in %AppData% #254

I'm submitting a…

Short description of the issue/suggestion: in setup mode it is InstallForCurrentUser. Even with this option set the installer still installs in the %Program Files% folder.

Do you have outputs, screenshots, demos or samples which demonstrate the problem or enhancement? I respectfully think that the description itself is sufficient to explain my predicament. hoping for your guidance on this.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? When running the software the user is always asked for Administrative Approval which could be alleviated by installing the application directly into the user's own appdata.

Please tell us about your environment:
