You might consider, for a per-machine setup, installing a 'template' to a
single location under CommonAppDataFolder\somefolder (typically
C:\ProgramData\...).

Design the application so that if it needs to write user specific
information, it should manage reading the default template and writing the
user specific data to the user's area (typically i C:\Users\<username>\...)
.  When a new version is deployed to CommonAppDataFolder the application
needs update any specialized copies it created in a user's space.  This is
the approach which we are using successfully.
