[WiX-users] Accessing system32 folder on 64bit machines

[WiX-users] Application registry keys best practise

Is it best practise for the installer to create all the registry keys that the application itself might create? I imagine the biggest pros to that would be that the installer controls the default settings, also making them configurable on the installer command line, and also the keys will be
