I haven't tested the per-user installations in the last five years, so I don't 
actually know what the problems are these days. One key issue is the elevated 
privileges topic (UAC). Correct me if I'm wrong: installing per-user still 
requires to run the installer with administrator privileges (i.e. you get the 
UAC prompt), right?

The other (solved) oddity is that the installer needs to include two copies of 
msvcrt, as the merge module only supports installation into the SxS folder.

As for this issue: if somebody provides a complete patch, I'm willing to 
consider it. Make sure to discuss backwards compatibility.

Simultaneous installation of multiple patch levels is out of scope of this 
issue. Note that you can get the installer to support it by editing the 
UpgradeCode in the MSI file with orca.
