Per-user installation used to be supported via a different installer (named Portable). Resurrect this via the new Inno Setup version that supports both modes in the same installer.

This has been implemented and will be available in the next major version (tentatively 18.0). The installer will offer installation for all users or for the current user only.

An issue remains with side-by-side installations. I've posted on the Inno Setup forum for help:

If it's a known issue perhaps we'll have to change the AppID for non-admin installs.

Looks like it's a bug in the new Windows Programs and Features control panel. The old control panel displays both installations correctly. That's unfortunate, but it provides a workaround in case the issue comes up in the wild.

I'll close this for now, it seems good enough to ship.
