Installer

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\

Description

The Installer subkey stores the entries created when you configure a Group Policy for Windows Installer in Windows 2000. These entries are created and maintained by Group Policy, and are read and interpreted by Windows Installer.

The Installer subkey in the Policies subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores entries that apply to all users of the computer. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the Computer Configuration folder in Group Policy.

There is also an Installer subkey in the Policies subkey in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, which stores entries that are configured separately for each user. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the User Configuration folder in Group Policy.
