The CMake provided NSIS template (Modules/NSIS.template.in) does:
WriteRegStr SHCTX
"Software\@CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR@\@CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY@"
"" $INSTDIR
so I bet you normally do:
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Me")
SET (CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY "${MYSOFTWARE_NAME}")
and get "Software\me\MySoftware" installed in the registry.
not quite what you want because SHCTX means:
SHCTX or SHELL_CONTEXT, it will be replaced with HKLM if
SetShellVarContext is set to all and with HKCU if SetShellVarContext
is set to current.

I think you'll have to write your own "NSIS.template.in" and make CPack use it
(put it in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH or CPACK_MODULE_PATH)
