Self Heal RegistryData_User

I've created a component that I want to SELF HEAL for "new" users of the PC but it doesn't work as expected. It works for the user installing the software but not for subsequent users. Instead of getting created under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch it's created under HKEY_USERS\[UserSID]\Software\. Once the first user installs it I can log into Windows as another user and the "repair" it and it will then function properly for the second user. How can I enable this component so that it self heals when subsequent windows users click on the program icon? I need explicit instructions. Using InstallShield AdminStudio 6.x

You need your shortcut to be an "Advertised Shortcut" and the component must have one of the HKCU registry values as its keypath.

HKEY_USERS\[UserSID]\Software\ is equivalent to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\

looeee
DUH! Figured it out.
