Install itunes to a specific user only

I want to install itunes for a specific user only. Currently both users are administrators however i want the itunes/quicktime installation to reflect on 1 user only i.e. the one i intall it from. How can i do this? Is there a command line parameter that would allow me to install it for 'current user' only? Please advise.

Intel Pentium M 1.60 GHz, Windows Vista, 1.25 GB RAM, 16 GB iPod Touch, Vista SP1, iTunes 7.6.1

Just change the installation path to somewhere in the other users account. The default is C:\Program Files\iTunes. You could change it to something like
C:\Users\accountname\iTunes. or something like that for vista. and
C:\Documents and Settings\accountname\iTunes. or something like that for XP.

accountname is the name of the account that you are trying to install itunes for.

Thanks a lot. It is a partial resolution in the sense that it still shows up in the program list in my windows start up menu, however, if i click on it, it starts and installer. Also, there are no media files registered with itunes as well.

Not the best solution, however quite workable.
