stevef1,
Place the registry keys in their own component and set the component to "Leave Installed On Uninstall".
You can do this by right clicking on the component and selecting Details and tick the box.
If your reg keys are in another component then create a new component and slide them into it.
Hope that helps you :)

And what if he's using Installshield?? You Wise guys are so presumptuous! =)
At the component view change "Permanent" to "Yes".
haha.. nice to have you back Jim.

Yes we should try to be a little less Wise centric I suppose :)

And if you're not using any of the above you could use ORCA.
To manage this:
go to the component table
find your component holding the registry you want to be left alone during uninstall
change the attribute from 4 (msidbComponentAttributesRegistryKeyPath) to 20 (msidbComponentAttributesRegistryKeyPath+msidbComponentAttributesPermanent)

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
