I want to install per-machine

I used (ALLUSERS=1), when installing program, it will create a registry key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProject\MyKey, and it has some registry information. It is ok for current user.

But if others user login it, the registry key does not exist under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but another application needs to read registry information from there, so it could not support multi user to use it.

PS MyKey must be written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Could you give me some solution or direction about it?

Thank you so much
