Script to Change Registry DWORD

I need a script to change the value of a DWORD to 0 in Windows 7 Home Premium in order to prevent Microsoft Security Essentials wizard from deploying after sysprep. I know how to work that with sysprep and just need the script. I've tried a couple vbs and played around but without success.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client

DWORD: OOBE

Change value to 0

Please let me know if there is a resource and I can just do this myself. I'm new to scripting and am not intending on burdening stack wizards with dumb questions.

In VBS try this test:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").RegWrite "HKLM\ABC", 0, "REG_DWORD"

The result should be: enter image description here

Be sure you run the script with elevated rights.
