How To Take ownership of registry key with .NET 2.0?

I am trying to add following reg file to registry programatically using VB.NET

http://www.winhelponline.com/fileasso/avi_fix_w7.zip

But I am getting the following error.

Cannot import J:\Users\Mad Geek\Desktop\avi_fix_w7.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.
A search on Google reveals that it is because of the registry Key permission setting for the key I want to edit. I have looked for the same topic earlier in the forum but it is of no help.

SO now all I want is a code that can help me to add this file to regedit.

Any help will be appreciated
