Installer creates shortcut only for current user
Current installer creates desktop icon ONLY for current user and most important creates Start menu shortcuts ONLY for current user.
If you have multi-user setup you have to manually make shortcuts for all users and delete installer created shortcut.
Current directory where start menu shortcut is created:
C:\Users\CURRENTUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MuseScore 3\MuseScore 3.lnk
It should be in:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MuseScore 3\MuseScore 3.lnk
Then it is visible for all users, regardless if there is only one single user or hundreds of users
Same is with desktop shortcut:
Currently shortcut is placed only for current install user:
C:\Users\CURRENTUSERNAME\Desktop\MuseScore 3.lnk
Best option is to make it optional but ideally it should be in:
C:\Users\Public\Desktop\MuseScore 3.lnk
Then it is visible for all users, regardless if there is only one single user or hundreds of users

Windows specific "variables" for correct places:
%public%\Desktop
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
I think https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-windows#silent-install may give a hint how to install it for all users, along with Microsoft's documentation for msiexec

ALLUSERS=1 does what i want... thank you
What purpose this current user install serves?
Why are you not using all user setting- basically it is simple msi Property and for single enduser it is no change..

Maybe we should add that to the handbook?
No idea why it isn't the default. Or not asked for during install.

Yes you may add this to handbook.
But i'm trying to understand why are you not specifing this Property already in msi?
