I believe you are right, there is no "All Users" type of thing. Usually, the
way this is done in the registry is an application will first look for keys in
HKCU (for user data). If it doesn't find anything there it falls back to the
same location in HKLM. Unfortunately, that's behavior the app must support...
not something you can do in your install.

It doesn't look like there's a registry side to the All Users profile. Only
filesystem (such as start menu and desktop) items seem to get inherited. Any
other ideas?

You can't write to every user's profile. You can however write to the AllUsers
profile and all users will inherit that if you create a per-machine install
(see the ALLUSERS Property in the MSI SDK).

Subject: How can I write a registry key in each user's HKCU
Specifically, I'm looking to add a key to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\ for each user.
I've tried writing to HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\ but this seems to work only for S-1-5-18 (which must be the
default user).
I'm thinking something like:
for each key under HKU that doesn't end in '_Classes'
write a new key into HKU\{currentkey}\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\
Is there any way to iterate through {currentkey} using WiX/MSI?
