Hi Phil, thanks a lot for this hint, it helped to figure it out =)
I was adding shortcuts to the startmenu and used a registry value as key path which was stored under HKCU. I did store it there because WiX didn't let me store it in HKLM even though AllUsers (InstallScope=perMachine) was set. Now I figured out that I had to use HKMU instead which basically does the same as HKLM in this case (?) but WiX does accept it now. So everything is fine.
