I'm sure you could do a Shell 'Run' call - but you could also edit the
registry with vbscript directly...

Maybe some of these can help you?

If you have a reg file on the machine, and want to use that instead of
scripting with the RegWrite method of wshShell (or WMI), the code could be
similar to below:

' Specify location of the reg file.
strRegFile = "c:\scripts\MyUpdate.reg"

' Specify the command to merge the reg file into the local registry.
strCmd = "%comspec% /c regsvr32 /s " & strRegFile

' Run the command.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run(strCmd)

regsvr32 !! It is regedit and regedit will work directly (Without command prompt) :
strCmd = "regedit /s " & strRegFile

And if the OP wants to use command prompt then :
reg.exe Import "RegFilePath.reg"
