Advertising s/w not able to write into HKCU
My product is writing reg entries in HKCU and while advertising product via command line msiexec.exe /qr /i MyProduct.msi PARAM1=VALUE1 PARAM2=VALUE2, it is not writing to HKCU. Because the advertising product uses service administrator ID to install and it fails to touch the HKCU since "service admin" ID is not the current user.
How to write HKCU while using admin id via advertising softwares?
Help is much appreciated at this point in time!!!

I did not use 'ALLUSERS= x' in my installer. I was installing on a remote machine, to ensure that I have the admin rights, I ran
mstsc.exe /console or
mstsc.exe /admin
to rdp.
