TortoiseHg wraps a TortoiseOverlay installer, which we have no control over.
I assume it tries to install as much as possible given the permissions of
the user that performs the installation.
If I remember correctly, TortoiseHg itself always installs in HKLM - and
thus system wide.
Why does it not apear for all users? What might I have done wrong?

My guess is that something in your user permissions trigged TortoiseOverlay

No, that should be safe.

Thank you for the analysis. It will help focus the effort required to fix
this problem.

I don't think the TortoiseHg installer differentiates between machine or
per-user installations. I suspect that we need to understand the bundled
TortoiseOverlay installer to see what triggers the different installations
and how it can be avoided.
