It is not an error, just a convention for specifying the hierarchical structure of the registry.

In regedit, go to HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and expand it using the + sign or by double clicking the name.
Recurse through the list of names given in the readme, till you get to one that does not exist.  Then create your new key.
Repeat as needed.

Hope this helps you.
