Windows ARM64 installer.exe only installs Swift under AppData for the current user #300

Description

The new ARM64 installer doesn't provide an easy way to install Swift under Program Files.
Instead, it silently installs Swift under the current user's home directory.
Most Windows software that I worked with installed itself under Program Files by default. Should this also be the default for Swift?

Reproduction

Try out an installer.exe artifact from https://ci-external.swift.org/job/swift-main-windows-toolchain-arm64/

Expected behavior

Clicking "Install" without customizing any settings would install Swift for all users of the machine.

Environment

ARM64 Windows 11
