How does install4j decide where in the registry to store the installation dirs?

I am observing some instdir keys stored in local machine, and some in current user:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\ej-technologies\install4j\installations\instdir<app.id>
HKCU\SOFTWARE\ej-technologies\install4j\installations\instdir<app.id>

Is that based on a configuration setting?

The local machine keys are only writable with elevated privileges. If no "Request privileges" action has been executed, the current user keys are used.
