Thanks for explaining. Sorry, I never said, I need to use the portable companion but don't have registry access (which is fine). I only uninstalled the addon as couldn't use companion. Thanks.

Hmm, I haven't thought of this use-case. I think this could also work if you put the registry entries into HKEY_CURRENT_USER (as opposed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).

If you'd like to experiment, you can change the register script to put entries into HKCU instead of HKLM. It might just work!
