Writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER should always work.
Writing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE woul require admin rights.
There are two solutions:
1) If you know admin account you can impersonate as
admin at run time.
2) You can change permissions on the particular key in
advance. This is one time operation that may be
performed by Admin at application setup time.

Best,
Serguei
