This must also be specified in the command-line parameters. See:

https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

TL;DR pass either /ALLUSERS or /CURRENTUSER

Note that you can also pass /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES to avoid seeing any message box - but then you'll get an all-users install by default unless you also specify /CURRENTUSER.

Thanks for clearing that up!
I was looking at #44 and #58 for information, but somehow missed that link. May I suggest linking to it on the installation page in the wiki?

Yes, that was the plan but I've been putting it off for a bit too long I think. 😛
