self updating to update registry key

Would it be possible for the self-updating to update the reg key of the deadline uninstaller field here? :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Deadline Client 6\DisplayVersion
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Deadline Client 7\DisplayVersion

We are monitoring installed apps through these keys, and noticed that these are only updated by the installers (which is expected i guess). Not a really important/critical issue, but would be nice.

Unfortunately, no. Updating the registry would require elevated privileges.

Cheers,
Ryan
