Thanks Jacob for the response. I still didn’t have success. With the below code, I don’t have any warnings. But the key is created only when it is give is ‘HKCU’. Both ‘HKLM’ or ‘HKMU’ seems ignored (don’t see the key created after installation). Any help on this would be appreciated.

P.S. IMO you don't need HKMU because you should split that component, but if your HKMU is going into HKCU then you're probably not doing an elevated per machine install. You're probably per user. Phil Wilson On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 1:33 PM, Shyam Kannam shyam.kan...@hotmail.comwrote: Thanks
