Anyway, the point is that to do that you need to write toI don't think that's a problem at all:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\<Appname>
(off the top of my head) otherwise, the messages logged in the event log
are pretty unreadable. Service installation will also require admin
privileges.

1. Believe it or not, you can write to HKEY_CURRENT_USER even if you are an admin! New and improved..... In fact, if you don't mind messing with the "load hive" interfaces, you can even write to someone else's HKCU if you are admin. It makes installs more complicated, but see 2 for why this will not be necessary.
2. Original suggestion talked about looking up at HKCU, and then (if not found) at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. I doubt the same machine will require BOTH service and per-user installation
