I have tried using the Active Setup keys but when the other user logs in the 
replication isn't occurring nor is the repair type install.

Here is what my setup looks like:

        <!--Installed at HKLM so that Active Setup keys can be imployed-->
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_185" Action="write" Type="string" 
Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Report 
Click-To-Dial Problem" Value="[#ctxmenu.htm]"/>
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_186" Action="write" Type="string" 
Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Report 
Click-To-Dial Problem\Contexts" Value="1"/>
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_activesetup_regfix_1" Action="write" 
Type="string" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed 
Components\[ProductCode]" Value="[ProductName]" />
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_activesetup_regfix_2" Action="write" 
Type="string" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed 
Components\[ProductCode]\StubPath" Value="msiexec /fou [ProductCode] /qb"/>
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_activesetup_regfix_3" Action="write" 
Type="string" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed 
Components\[ProductCode]\Version" Value="1,0,0"/>
        

HKCU items are in separate components so that they can have the KeyPath 
attribute set.

      <!--Must be installed in HKCU for installing user to immediately use. All 
other users will have the plugin silently repaired using Active Setup-->
      <Component Id="ctd_ieplugin_hkcu_menuext" 
Guid="DB65E89E-C207-43BC-B4E9-E75D20A870AF"  SharedDllRefCount="yes">
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_183" Action="write" Type="string" 
Root="HKCU" KeyPath="yes" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet 
Explorer\MenuExt\Report Click-To-Dial Problem" Value="[#ctxmenu.htm]"/>
        <!--These two entries keep the install from re-running or repairing 
itself when the installing user logs back in.-->
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_activesetup_HKCU_COPY_1" Action="write" 
Type="string" Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed 
Components\[ProductCode]" Value="[ProductName]" />
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_activesetup_HKCU_COPY_2" Action="write" 
Type="string" Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed 
Components\[ProductCode]\Version" Value="1,0,0"/>
      </Component>
      <Component Id="ctd_ieplugin_hkcu_menuext_context" 
Guid="327241A1-ECFF-454D-A8EC-34E0BF616904" SharedDllRefCount="yes">
        <RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_184" Action="write" Type="string" 
Root="HKCU" KeyPath="yes" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet 
Explorer\MenuExt\Report Click-To-Dial Problem\Contexts" Value="1"/>
      </Component>    

The OS I am running this on is Windows 7 64 Bit. The installing user is also in 
the local admin group but the others users are not.

Then there's the case of Office AddIns that allowed either HKCU or HKLM in 
2003, took away in 2007 ( and put it back with a hotfix and enabling registry 
value ) and really put it back in 2010 leaving one hell of a mess for us 
installer guys to deal with.


So, yes, YMMV... in the event it really needs to be HKCU like the poster 
asserted then my response below will help.

Or try applying the key to HKLM rather than HKCU in the first place.  Many 
Windows settings can apply to either key to give you the flexibility of 
having each setting system-wide or per-user.

The Registry element  has a Root attribute that you can set to HKCU.  If

your program has an advertised shortcut you can use this to trigger

resilency to complete the installation for each user who uses your app.

It's an ugly story though like the old Office install that popped up every

time you went to a new conference room and logged in.

Here's an alternative approach that avoids all that:

Subject: [WiX-users] Adding Internet Explorer Context Menu item for all

users in a per machine install


I have been working on a new install where a context menu is added to the

Right-Click Menu within Internet Explorer.


Everything I have read regarding this requires the key be added to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer. This does work but

the issue I have is that our installs are run as per-machine installs and

this causes other users that login to not have this menu.


Links to MSDN articles explaining context menu additions for Internet

Explorer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753589%28VS.85%29.aspx


The wxs code is quite simple for this addition:


<RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_183" Action="write" Type="string"

Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\keyName"

Value="[#FileID]"/>


<RegistryValue Id="ctd_classinfo_184" Action="write" Type="string"

Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\ keyName

\Contexts" Value="1"/>


Has anyone run into this or another issue where a per-machine install is

performed but features or other items need to exist for all users in the

above fashion?


Thanks,


Jon
