This should work if you have the entries created with default values in HKCU
where the component keypath is the registry item. This is mentioned in the
Registry Table MSDN docs where it talks about HKCU and the installer writes
the necessary entries when there are multiple users on the same computer. The
repair mechanism is what causes the registry entries to be written for every
user because it's a keypath item that's missing. You'd also need to have a
triggering mechanism like a non-advertised shortcut to cause the repair, and
repairs percolate up from component to feature, so it might take some
re-arranging of your components/features.

Subject: [WiX-users] Adding registry entries for other users or non-existant
users
Hi all,
When our installation installs for ALLUSERS we put registry entries into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and when the application starts on each user account we
copy the settings from there to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This is handy because it
will work for all existing users on the machine, as well as for user
accounts that do not exist yet.
However, we also install a keyboard layout which needs keys in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER as the user logs in, before the user can access the
layout, and before our application can be run. Is there some way we can
create registry entries for all existing users on the system AND any new
users?
Thanks,
John.
