Solution:

From Spotfire 7.12 onwards, there are two separate installers. One is a "single user installer" and the other is "shared_computer" (machine) installer.
The "single user installer" will install the Spotfire Analyst for the particular user who installed it, at "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\TIBCO"
The "machine installer" installs the Spotfire Analyst for all the users at "C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO".
"*.msi" file maybe required to install Spotfire Analyst/Desktop silently. - Run the .exe and leave it on the first screen.
