  ;--------------------------------
  ; Establish and remember the Start MenuGroup info
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULT_FOLDER     "$[PRODUCT_TITLE}"
  ; Remember where it is
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT      HKLM
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY       "${PRODUCT_REGKEY}"
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME StartMenuGroup

  ;--------------------------------

This may be a no-no .... HKLM should apparently not be used with installations because it assumes the end-user doing the installation has administrator privileges.

Ouch .... I hadn't been aware of this, and have always developed installers that assumed the end-user had admin privilege. I'll do some more research on this.
