User DSN
Is there a way to capture or create a user DSN to be created on all users other than just the user installing the package?

Yes, make sure all current user registry settings are in their own feature and that feature is a sub feature of complete. If the application does not trigger the per-user registry settings when run in this way consider implementing Active Setup to create the entries.
Here is an article on Active Setup:

You are getting too complicated again!
All you need to do is create a SYSTEM DSN instead, as this is the equivilant of a User DSN for 'all users'.
All the entries for this DSN will be in HKLM\Software\ODBC\, especially the key \ODBC.INI\
Just add these registry keys to your MSI and this ODBC entry will be available to all users on the workstation.
