Put whatever you need to run at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce. After a reboot then whatever you have there will run.
Example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"setup"="C:\\Drivers\\Scripts\\install3.cmd"

Why do you want to use RunOnce in deploying software? If you can tell the reason we can give you better options..
RunOnce is not at all a good option.

The gotcha of doing this is, whatever you call from the run once is subject to the user rights on that machine.

If the person is an admin it can be very useful
This run once line ran gpupdate, displayed the user info, restarted the machine in 5 min, ran a program and a batch file in one line.
start /wait reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v RunGPUpdate /d "cmd.exe /k \"gpupdate /force\"&&whoami&&shutdown -r -f -t 305&&\\dr-acad\programs\installs\w2d\closeie.exe&&\\dr-acad\programs\fixip.bat" - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago
