I am using wix 2.0 to install an Excell add-in. The structure of these
add-ins is such that they require adding stuff in the registry trees
for Excel under both LOCAL_MACHINE (for the generic configuration) and
CURRENT_USER (for the user-specific configuration). I can do this now
without problems with a CustomAction (and am in the process of
switching it to be deferred, to properly work under Vista), but just
realized I am only correctly handling the installation for ONE user in
the machine (the actual current user). I really would like to know
what the proper way is to handle the installation for ALL users in the
machine:
Move it out of the installer. You cannot reliably access all the HKCU
hives for every user, only those who are logged in and running your app.
So take a "first run" approach and offer to configure the HKCU data from
the existing HKLM data if it's not present.
