win,msi: change InstallScope to perMachine
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is an adaptation of 8e80528.

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 nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#5849

The original commit was adapted to search all upgrade codes listed in
the upgrade table, as the current installer tries to upgrade from two
different upgrade codes.

@joaocgreis is this good for a v3.x cherry-pick?
