You don't check for errors in this function. Openkey return false on

There are applications that prevent from changing the 
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run key like 
anti-spyware, anti-virus or stand alone software monitoring the run key. 
For instance:

Maybe, your customer is running such an application. If I'm not 
mistaken, Bit-Defender, the Microsoft anti-spyware does this and most of 
the antivirus programs.
