Just like it says, check where you are placing the command. It needs to be in a "Section" or in a function, and the function needs to be closed. I.E.

Section ""

WriteRegDWORD HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components\0" "CurrentState" "40000004"

EndSection

Or

Function Foo

WriteRegDWORD HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components\0" "CurrentState" "40000004"

FunctionEnd

Hope that helps.
