seems a little odd to use this to add registry.
why not at the HKCU to the package and use self healing to deploy it.
regedit could be disabled by policy regardsless if the user has access to the registry location

I was always had the understanding that HKCU repair was a last resort and not common practice.
The user experience should be "quiet" with no repairs?
I'm not quite sure what best practice should be?
On this occasion the appropriate answer seems to be HKCU repair.
re: AngelD StubPath didn't work either.

Who told you that?

As quiet as possible with repairs.
You need to make sure the repair doesn't take longer then necessary.
John (jmcfadyen) has posted a nice article regarding CurrentUser feature and its position so search for that, HINT: top-feature.

The only time you wouldn't want a repair is if your installing on a citrix server. Then it pays to use active setup (only if your publishing a full desktop)

You correct timmsie as a user is not allowed to trigger a repair. In that case you need to make sure every HKCU registry is written by the shadow registry. Files located in the userprofile should be handled by Active Setup that do NOT use the windows installer to write the files but instead an EXE, VBSCRIPT or similar.

Exactly, although Active setup is not run if you only publish an application and not a full desktop.

The articles on HKCU confirm what other packagers have said to do, as apposed to what is taught by Altiris Wise in Australia.
I will follow the use of msi HKCU self repair under a CurrentUser feature to ensure a quick repair for the end user.
Thanks to all for the info
