Windows is moved to Windows.old, and the Registry is likely the
real Registry during the Migration phase. You could stop the process
somewhere in the middle and set that key.

But that's the problem I was having, is coming up with a way of setting
that key, when Regedit and a GUI isn't available. Kaspersky has a registry
editor on the rescue disc, but I don't know which version of Kav CD
is compatible with GPT systems. Kaspersky also made a claim that the
Registry Editor they use, is FOSS (Open Source), but I was never able
to locate where the item was developed. The Kaspersky Rescue Disc is
based on Gentoo as an OS, and the Registry Editor is running on top
of Gentoo in that case.

Otherwise, you're in for clumsy "hive loading" exercises. Notice
that the key in question is in "CurrentVersion", which means if you
do this exercise manually, it is up to you, the Wizard, to select the
correct actual version, to edit. That would be all part of the fun.
