QtIFW Always create registry entry

问题

I'm currently using the Qt-Installer-Framework to create a setup for my application. Everything works fine for now except one thing:

If I install it to any location but C:\Program Files\MyApp, the installer won't create the registry entry for Programs and Features!

Is there a way to tell the installer to always do this?

Edit:
After trying out vairous different combinations, I do know now where the problem comes from:

If I try to install as current user only (set the AllUsers variable to false), it will always work and create an entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}.

If I install for all users, however, it will try to create a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}. This will only work, if the installer has to elevate it's operations during installation (because I chose a directory I need admin rights for).

So, the error is: The installer won't elevate itself to create the "global" registry entry and thus fails to create it. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Here the link which has answer to this question.

Add the following line to your component's package xml file:

@<RequiresAdminRights>true</RequiresAdminRights>@

And use this line in your script file:

@component.addElevatedOperation("Execute", "someCommand");@

instead of

@component.addOperation("Execute", "someCommand");@
