IE9 shortcut pointing to a wrong location when configured for other users logging into the PC

Hello,

I have a box where I installed IE9 by running the "IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe" executable from a mapped network drive - N:\.

Now I have the situation where when new users are logging in, their "Internet Explorer" (the standard x86 version) is pointing to:

"N:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

Can you please advise on how to fix this? I know that the IE shortcut is being generated by active setup registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{26923b43-4d38-484f-9b9e-de460746276c}]

@="Internet Explorer"

"Version"="9,0,8112,16421"

"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001

"ComponentID"="IEACCESS"

"LocalizedName"="@C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\ie4uinit.exe,-21"

"StubPath"="C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\ie4uinit.exe -UserIconConfig"

"Dontask"=dword:00000002

"Locale"="*"

That's the only lead I got for now. )

Your assistance is appreciated.
