installation places files in user-registry which cannot work in a classroom

Kia ora koutou

We are investigating how to run a silent / remote install to a series of student computers each of which is used by multiple students. At present, we note that the Open Studio script-based install approach puts files into the User registry not the computer registry. This means some aspects of the OS system will look for, and not find those registry entries if any user other than the admin user that installed the software tries to run OS. We are hoping there is a workaround, or that someone can assure us that there will be no problem..

(PS: Whatever search term I use came up with no answer to this - if there is one, I'd be grateful for the link)
