New issue 23549 by [email protected]: Chrome Frame should not make any  
entry in HKCU
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23549

Chrome frame is installed in machine wide mode as opposed to per user
install. Ideally it shouldn't need to make any entry under HKCU. It does so
today in order to register its progid under 'Secured Mime Handlers'.

On windows vista local administrators do not have write access to 'Secured
Mime Handler' key. It can only be written by a process that has 'Trusted
Installer' sid in its token. The installer could 'take ownership' but
that's pretty crude.

The best option is to figure out way to make the entry as 'Trusted
Installer', maybe running a custom action via MSI installer service would
make it possible. I checked the msiexec.exe running under SYSTEM and it
does NOT have the 'Trusted Installer' sid in its token. There has to be a
way to be able to run as 'Trusted Installer', hopefully it's in our reach.
