This was news to me, so I followed the link and did some poking around. According to docs for the Registry table (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371168), this is taken care of for us. If the root is given as HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT then Windows Installer writes to either HKCU\Software\Classes or HKLM\Software\Classes, depending on whether it's a per-user or per-machine install.
