You can try using "Active setup" here which can do this task when user logs into the box. But that will be pain and it's better to leave them there.

The application is being installed for all users, however I wanted the registry settings to be independent of each user, which is why I set it in HKCU instead of HKLM. Now I want to remove the keys on uninstall, any ideas on how I would go about doing this? The manual said using KeyPath="yes" would set this key for all users (and I was hoping it would remove as well) if HKCU was the root, but candle gives me the error: error CNDL0038 : The Registry/@Name attribute cannot be specified when attribute Action is present with value 'removeKeyOnUninstall'. For the entry: <Registry Root="HKCU" Key="Software\MyKey" Action=" createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall " KeyPath="yes" /> Any Ideas? Thanks!
