Apply 7-Zip settings to ALL USERS

[Steve Wiggins]

I have a custom install of 7-Zip (custom context menus) I need the setting to apply to all users.
I see the settings are stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER section of registry meaning that any changes only apply to the current user. I need the settings to apply to all users!!
Any ideas?

Example registry settings below
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Options]
"CascadedMenu"=dword:00000001
"ContextMenu"=dword:00000567
"WorkDirType"=dword:00000000
"WorkDirPath"=""
"TempRemovableOnly"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Compression]
"Archiver"="zip"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Compression\Options\zip]
"EncryptionMethod"="AES256"

I've tried creating the same keys in HKLM but no joy :-(

Hi Steve,
I'm using "Active Setup" to deploy these HKCU-Settings at the Windows logonprocess once to the user, applied to the MSI with MST transform file.

Hi Andreas.

That sounds like exactly the solution I was looking for!!

Thanks very much :-)

Do you have an example .mst file I could use?

[Steve Wiggins]

Done it! Simple when you know how :-)
Cheers :-)

Sorry to bump with old topic. But Steve, can you provide me with a mst where use set these options with Active Setup please?

I tried to get it working myself but didn't succeed as yet.
