Registry key for per-user Basic MSI

Hi,

I have a Basic MSI setup that installs per user, but I don’t see the registry entries under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID…}
I can see the uninstall information under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but that entry is overwritten when the setup is installed for another user, so I cannot rely on that. So what is the correct registry entry for a user-only setup in Basic MSI to look up? I need this to look up the installation path in my application.

Thanks

The correct registry entry is undocumented. The recommendation is to use the MSI APIs instead:
