How to Automatically Set Different User Defaults during/after automated Installation

Hello,

I'm trying to package and roll-out Workrave 1.9.1 for Windows via an
automated software deployment.  I want to start every user off with a
set of timer values that are different from the default settings
provided.

I found the registry keys stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Workrave\ and tried to load these new key
values as part of the deployment.  Unfortunately, the installation is
performed by a dedicated installer (administrator) account, and not
through the account of the end user.  So when the registry keys are
written, they are written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the installer
(administrator) account.  HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the end user can't be
accessed by the installer, so Workrave creates the keys with default
timer values.

Is there any way to have the Workrave installer use different defaults
when it creates the registry keys for CURRENT_USER?  Or is there some
other way to set a different default for user accounts?

Thanks in advance for any help.

-Carlton
