Can you install a program for all users using ClickOnce VS2010?

Can you install a program for "All Users" using Visual Studio ClickOnce Publishing?

I ran setup and was not given the option "Install for All users" => then I inspected the actual install directory and it was in the folder: 

C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\Z5AWACYL.000\4EQB7LVJ.RXP\mapl..tion_0000000000000000_0001.0000_d31e4ada0d11807b\

So I think no other user will be allowed to run it. How does one create a project installer that installs a program to all users?

After a bunch of research the answer is No.

I figured out a really hack way to pull it off. But it caused problems in production, specifically, I got calls from this guy, and he's like "Do I have to install the app for every user?", Then later he would say, "User1 is running version X.X.X.1, but user2 is running X.X.X.2" So it was a lot of work for disappointing results.
