If the MuseScrore2.0.3.msi ist installed silently via msiexec an silent switches with admin rights there will be only shortcuts created in the Start menu of the installing user.

Better way to create a Start Menu Shortcut for all users not only for the installing user.

%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
or shorter
%allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

This problem exists in 2.1 too. To workaround it, in my install script I run:

copy "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MuseScore 2\" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
