This may be a no-no .... HKLM should apparently not be used with
installations because it assumes the end-user doing the installation
has administrator privileges.
I thought about that, but according to the NSIS site that HKCU is not
available under Win9x and WinME.
See:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Add_uninstall_information_to_Add/Remove_Programs
If so and we go the HKCU route then we need to add in OS version detection.
If Win9x then HKLM automatically.
Else, it should be a choice in the install to install for the current
user or for all users.
But if several users on the same machine install to the current user,
how would that work? I mean where would the program be installed? Where
would the modules be located?
In any "home" installation at least one person has administrator privs.
In a company setting, the user may not have admin privs and may even be
shut out from doing any installs even HKCU or changing/adding
environment variables.
I'm not sure that it is worth trying to install to HKCU. I think perhaps
we need to go for the lowest common denominator ;)
Ouch .... I hadn't been aware of this, and have always developed
installers that assumed the end-user had admin privilege. I'll do some
more research on this.
