Windows Vista Registry Security Restriction

I have a question regarding Windows registry, I am developing a USB driver install shield for Windows Vista, during uninstallation I can not delete the following registry keys and their subkeys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Enum\\USB\\Vid_0xxa&Pid_0xxx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet001\\Enum\\USB\\Vid_0xxa&Pid_0xxx

I don't have privilege to delete them, even I run the application as an administrator, can anyone help me on this issue.
