Sophos Central Install issue - Error writing to registry

Good morning, 

 

I am hoping somebody on here may be able to help with this as we have exhausted all fixes on our end. 

 

We have totally removed Sophos Central from a PC after it had issues with some components not starting correctly. 

 

Now when running the install again we are getting the below results:

The part highlighted in bold is the issue. Problem creating registry key. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to fix this? Otherwise we are looking at a total reload of the PC or possibly an alternative AV product. 


Thank you
