If the Package is installed under ALLUSERS then the regkey would be written to HKLM
if the Package is installed only per user then the key would be written to HKCU.
If you have a locked down environment and have to install from an administrator but your application needs individual users registry entries here is a good example
in my testing I'm trying to force my package to do a per user install but am unsuccessful. what do I need to enable/disable to make that happen, even if the user has admin rights?
I've removed the following from the Property Manager:
ApplicationUser=AllUsers
I removed the install shield custom actions that setup the all users profile.
