That means your account doesn't have permissions to write to that registry key. Either you're not using an administrator account, or you have User Access Control enabled. Try right-clicking the XBMC shortcut and choosing "Run as administrator", and then see if it works.

I have a solution for this issue if you don't want to run Kodi as an administrator.
On my htpc, I have a standard account that the PC boots into and a separate administrator account that I use when I need to install software or make system changes.
This fix involves modifying the security permissions for the hidir\remotes registry key. You must have administrator rights yourself to make this change.
DISCLAIMER: Understand what you're doing before you copy code from the internet and run it on your own box. This works for me, but YMMV. If it breaks something, it's up to you to figure out how to fix it.
My system is running Windows 10 Education x64. I believe this regkey is the same for all recent windows versions, but check first.
1. Open an administrative powershell window
(Click your start button, type "powershell", right-click "Windows PowerShell" and choose "Run as administrator"
2. Copy/Paste the following lines
Code:
$acl = get-acl hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\services\hidir\Remotes
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule ("BUILTIN\Users","FullControl","ContainerInherit","none","Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($rule)
$acl | set-acl -path hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\services\hidir\Remotes
3. Start Kodi/MCERemote, make your key changes, and apply them.
Good Luck.
