Setup for All Users/Per User in Windows 7
Hi friends,
I m building setup for All Users/Per User. and simultaneously putting registries in each users. But problems are:
1.Not every users registry is shown under HKEY_USERS( unless u do Load Hive)
2.Even u do Load Hive the registry is not showing under HKEY_USERS.
I m using InstallShield 2012 Spring Professional Edition.
Is there any other thing i m missing?
Regards,
-Nitin J.

I am reading your post and understand that you want to install files in profiles of ALL accounts that have ever logged onto the machine.
I do not build installers from scratch (generally), I modify msi or convert legacy to msi in a corp environment. I state this just for a frame of reference.
I have not seen a msi installer do this, it would probably be very complex to accomplish, requiring ninja scripts etc.
The proper methods of placing files/registry settings in the user space is by using Advertised Shortcuts(or other entry points) and Self-healing.
