I install program and register it under
HKCU

As I understand to add program to this menu I have to add it to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\\


But my installer doesn't allow me to do it both HKCU and HKCR.

What I have tried:

So i add it via file association
<pre>   <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\edit.NAME.exe" Value="Some text" Type="string" />
            <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\edit.Name.exe\command" Value=""[INSTALLDIR]NAME.exe" "%1"" Type="string" />


But in this case when i select more then one file i have to select my program from the list each time. Is there any way to avoid it?

Have you tried to run installer with admin rights?

It's running with admin rights. The question is where to write in registry for HKCU .
