I think a power user is sufficient for HKLM. Not sure for HKCR though.
The best way I check whether a user has valid permissions is by
attempting to create a key under say HKLM. If the user does not have
access, the call fails and I will know the user has insufficient
previlages, I then suggest a local installation for the current user
only.

I had tried Inno setup but found some limitations which I cannot thing
of immediately (I am not sure whether they exist now though). For
NullSoft's installer, you can have a look at
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/. They have very good support for scripting
which I found gave better/finer control.
with best regards,
