That registry entry is processed when a user logs on, not when the OS starts
up. So if the request is really for when the OS starts up I think a service is
the only choice. If it's really for "when a user logs on" that entry will do,
as will adding a shortcut to the Startup program menu group.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Running .exe file as part of OS startup
I remember a lot of spyware(and legitimate software too!) write entries to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
to get things to run during startup, maybe you could try that?

Could anyone give an insight on how to implement this using wix?
