I don't think this is possible, I would suggest that the right place to do this 
is in your application on first run not in the installation.

Subject: [WiX-users] Creating Per-User Registry Entries in a Per-Machine 
Installation

My application installs on a per-machine basis so that it is available to all 
users. I have InstallPrivileges=elevated and InstallScope=perMachine. In 
addition, the installer creates some registry entries for my application in 
HKLM because I have specified Root=HKMU.

I would like to set some default registry values so that they are available to 
the individual user upon the first invocation of the application. The user must 
be able to modify those values and the values for each user must be distinct 
from those of other users. Therefore HKCU and not HKLM registry entries must be 
used.

Is there a mechanism for the installer to create registry entries in the HKCU 
tree for each user in this scenario? If that is possible, can all such HKCU 
registry entries be removed when the application is uninstalled?

Configuration: schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi, WiX binaries version 
3.0.4909.0, WiXEdit version 0.6.1762.0
