Which registry section to use for Windows 2003 compatibility?

Platform: Windows 2003 server, .NET Deployment Kit

Hi,

I am creating a setup application using .NET deployment kit for Windows 2003
compatibility for my VC++ based product.

My setup needs to create certain entries int he registry.
After reading the specification for Windows 2003 compatibility , I am not
sure what is the right location for making entries in the registry.

Should the setup application make entries in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section
or the HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Where should my setup write information regarding the location of the
Product's installed path, company name etc.

Is it ok for my Product applications to use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section
or the HKEY_CURRENT_USER or are there any restrictions on that.

I am unsure about the registry specifications.
Any pointers would be of great help

Thanks and Regards
Ganga

You are better off asking the question in one of the programing groups.
