João Reis	4cfe5eb9af	win,msi: change InstallScope to perMachine This is an adaptation of `8e80528453`. Original commit message: The MSI install scope was set to the WiX default, which is per-user. However, with UAC, it could not be installed by a standard user because InstallPrivileges is elevated by default, hence the install scope should be set to per-machine. Furthermore, the default install path is a per-machine location and setting the system path requires administrator privileges. By changing the InstallScope to perMachine, Start Menu shortcuts are placed in ProgramData and not the installing user's AppData folder, making the shortcuts available to other users. This also fixes the installation when AppData is a network folder. The custom action is necessary to allow upgrades. Since a per-machine MSI cannot upgrade an application installed per-user, the custom action checks if there is going to be an upgrade to a previous version installed per-user and sets the installation as per-user to allow upgrading. Hence, the advantages of installing per-machine will only apply in fresh installations.

win,msi: change InstallScope to perMachine

This is an adaptation of 8e80528453.

Original commit message:

  The MSI install scope was set to the WiX default, which is per-user.
  However, with UAC, it could not be installed by a standard user
  because InstallPrivileges is elevated by default, hence the install
  scope should be set to per-machine. Furthermore, the default install
  path is a per-machine location and setting the system path requires
  administrator privileges.

  By changing the InstallScope to perMachine, Start Menu shortcuts are
  placed in ProgramData and not the installing user's AppData folder,
  making the shortcuts available to other users. This also fixes the
  installation when AppData is a network folder.

  The custom action is necessary to allow upgrades. Since a per-machine
  MSI cannot upgrade an application installed per-user, the custom
  action checks if there is going to be an upgrade to a previous
  version installed per-user and sets the installation as per-user to
  allow upgrading. Hence, the advantages of installing per-machine will
  only apply in fresh installations.

  Fixes joyent/node#5849

win,msi: broadcast WM_SETTINGCHANGE after install

In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).

Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.
