Add support for limiting Windows MSI install and uninstall options to a specific install scope.
The new
systemsetting accepts:truefor options that apply only to all-users installations;falsefor options that apply only to current-user installations; and"both"for options that apply to either scope.When the setting is omitted, it defaults to
"both"to preserve the existing behavior. Invalid values are rejected during configuration validation.This change includes configuration validation, automated tests, Windows platform documentation, and a change note. The corresponding Windows app template change uses this setting to filter controls in the MSI install and uninstall dialogs.
Companion template branch:
