I have a question regarding registry settings.
I am using Install Shield 2014 to create an install.
By default, Setup.exe runs with administrator privileges.
In this case, accessing HKEY_CURRENT_USER from Setup.exe will access the registry of administrator authority.
Here is what I want to ask.
Is there a way to access the registry of the currently logged in public user in Setup.exe running as administrator?
This is necessary because there is something to be recorded in the public user registry.
Thank you.

You can use the Registry view in the Installshield IDE to create entries in the registry - the value of this registry could be a property which you could set during the install.

I hope this helps.
