I have written a software that requires a reboot after uninstall
before reinstalling. I write a registry value in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
and checks it during installation. This value always get reset while
logging in as adaministrator. But I recently discover that this doesnt
get reset when log in as limited user. I need this to work as limited
user as well, how should I get around this prolblem?

If the application is running under the user's credentials, then they may not have write permissions to that portion of the registry. You need to either adjust the permissions, or put the value you're creating, elsewhere in the Registry.
