Problem in Setup and Deployment Projects

[Nelluru]

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create an msi package for my application using Setup and Deployment project.
I am able to create msi package and it is installing properly.

The problem is:
I installed the application by selecting "Everyone" option.
When I want to launch this application in user(not administrator), it is trying to install the application once again in the user mode.
If the the user has administrator privileges it installs the application and when I launch the application for the second time, It opens up my application User Interface.
If the user doesn't have administrator privileges it doesn't install and it does not launch my application.
I made the InstallAllUsers property to True which is previously set to False.Even then it is given the same problem.
I also tried by setting ALLUSERS property to 1 and other time to 2 but without any success.
Why it is doing like that???How to overcome this problem???Where am I going wrong???

User's typically dont have install privileges.

My only guess is that it is not installing the full program when the user runs it, it is merely installing the portions relevant to that user.

I found what the problem is.
It is not creating the registries for the user as it is creating for the administrator.
I have added the registry entries in
HKCU\Software\[Manufacturer]\.......
in my Setup projects to install during installation.

Even I tried adding the registry contents in the user/machine hive in my setup project.
It is adding the registry contents in the
HKU\Software\[Manufacturer]\.....

Its not adding in HKey_Current_User of the user.

Can u tell me Where I have to add these registry entries so that it adds up in the HKCU\Software\[Manufacturer]\....... of the user registry
