This post makes no sense. You don't access the Registry with an
installer. You access the Registry by running regedit.
Please post back with a better explanation of what is going on. Include
the exact text of any error messages. This link will show you what
details to include in your next post so we can help you:

Hi,
Are you trying to read a registry value or write to it?
Which registry location are you trying to read/write to?
And what's the error message displayed?

David,
START | RUN | Type 'regedit' & press ENTER
That should get you into the registry . If not, you may get a message like this
has been disabled by the administrator. If so, create the following registry
key:
------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
-------------------------------------------------------
Open Notepad
Copy what is between the '-' above into that Notepad doc
File menu | Save As, surround the filename with double quotes like so:
"Unlock.reg"
Choose All Files from the File Types
Click the SAVE button
This will now create a registry file, which you can double-click, enter in the
registry & click OK to the successful message
-----
If you cannot add the above info & gain access to the registry then post back
the error message
------
The other user who said that your post makes no sense whatsoever is partially
right but the installer adds keys to the registry like RUN, UNINSTALL or FILE
ASSOCIATIONS etc. So, he/she is also incorrect with their outburst
Anyway. We await your response,

Ramesh,
The Policy only disables the registry through the keys I put in my original
post. It only stops users from going in via regedit
I could also write a small application to get around that policy forcing
unrestricted permission

But only if the hotfix was applied earlier. Note that this hotfix is not available via WU. So it's highly unlikely that the user has this update installed in their system.

That's exactly what I said. You can write a .vbs file (or an application, if you wish) to remove the Policy ("DisableRegistryTools" - mostly enabled by Virus/Malware, particularly in a standalone system).
