title: Should the installed entry in the registry be in the Microsoft folder?
body: <p>When adding a shortcut to an installer created with Wix, according to <a href="http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/create_start_menu_shortcut.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How To: Create a Shortcut on the Start Menu</a>, you need to add a registry value with like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should that value really be inside of <code>Software\Microsoft</code>? In many cases in the Microsoft world I'm seeing the vendor used as the scope so I'm wondering if it shouldn't really be <code>Software\MyVendorName\MyApplicationName</code>.</p>
