Google Chrome - "Disable self-updater" improvement

When you have the "Disable self-updater" feature for Google Chrome enabled, there are 2 regkey values that will be added to the registry path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update". However, if the registry path doesn't exist the reg key values won't be added. Could this be fixed to make sure the they are added even if the path is not there from start?

    We're coding this now and will probably go out to a preview build today or early need week then production sometime in the next week or two.

    Essentially, if the regKey doesn't exist for the location we need to save a regValue to disable an update we will create the regKey rather than fail.
