Thanks for the reply.
I looked at the wix registry element and under the root attribute
HKCU
Operation occurs under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. It is recommended to set the
KeyPath='yes' attribute when setting this value in order to ensure that
the installer writes the necessary registry entries when there are
multiple users on the same computer.
Does it mean if I have 1 component for 1 registry element, then I can
set KeyPath="yes" at the component level to make it write registries for
all users?
Currently I put lots of registries under 1 component. Splitting it would
take a lot of effort as they all need GUIDs.
<DirectoryRef Id="MyBin">
<Component Id='IShieldReg'
Guid='32eb06a3-680f-4b7f-b759-1dbd6017f690' KeyPath="yes">
<RegistryKey Root="HKCR" Key="Licenses" Action="create"/>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCR" Key="Licenses\DFGKDFgzdfgkjlll0-0"
Action="create">

No. A per-machine installation writes to per-machine locations, not the
all users' per-user locations. So a per-machine shortcut goes to a
different directory (CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS, per the docs).
