Yes, it does.
The following command works for my computer:
C:\Programme\TortoiseHG\TortoiseOverlays>msiexec /i
TortoiseOverlays-1.0.4.11886-win32.msi /norestart ALLUSERS=1
I did the following with TortoiseOverlays:
uninstalled it and deleted my manually added keys
checked the keys: none was there
installed without ALLUSERS=1
checked the keys: they were in HKCU
uninstalled it
checked the keys: none was there
installed with ALLUSERS=1
checked the keys: they were in HKLM
The article about ALLUSERS is not clear. I understand the meaning of
ALLUSERS like this:
ALLUSERS="" (not given) Install per-user
ALLUSERS=1 Install per-machine
ALLUSERS=2 Install per-machine if possible, per-user else
Where do other (XP) users have the keys?
Just try this two commands in a command window (as any user):
C:\> reg query
HKLM\Software\classes\CLSID\{C5994560-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
Should return one value and one sub key.
C:\> reg query
HKCU\Software\classes\CLSID\{C5994560-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
Should return an error message.
On my machine it was the wrong way round.
