How to restore registry backup from another windows 7 installation

Hello. I managed to make my Windows 7 installation unusable (freezes on black screen before login screen comes up) by, at least I suspect, denying permission to Everyone on some rpc related dll.  I have a recent backup of the registry that I took by exporting the root key from within regedit.  I have since installed another copy of windows on another hard drive.  I know how load a backup from within regedit, but my question is how would I do this from another windows installation, given that I can't even get to safe mode on the one I'm hoping to fix? I gather that the registry is not simply a file that I can copy the backup over, or it would be simple. Is there a way to work on the registry of a different installation? 

Many thanks! 

Matt
