Are you installing ESET under the Administrator account?

I am trying to install ESET Verison 4 I am having the same problem.

the error message i am getting is

could not write Value Name to key \software\ESET\ESET Security \CurrentVerison\Scheduler\1. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I am installing the ESET under the Administrator Account.

Then when i go to install ESET Verision 3 which ran fine before i get the same above error message when i try to install verison 3.

So currently i dont have a Virus scanning protection installed on my PC.

stormrider5,

Try this:

Uninstall ESET and then do the following: (please note: some of these files/folders/drivers/ may not be there, which is OK)

Boot into Safe mode

1. Delete files and folder

Folders:
C:\Program Files\ESET
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET
C:\ProgamData\ESET (vista)

Registry keys:
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESET
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESET

2. Go to Window's Services and disable ESET Services
a. ESET Service
b. ESET Http Server

3. Go to Device Manager and disable drivers for ESET.

a. In Device Manager, go to View on the menu bar and select "Show Hidden devices". This opens up "Non-Pug and Play Drivers" in devices manager .
b. Disable "ehdrv" and "epfwtdir" drivers.

Boot back into normal mode and download "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:

Run this program and make sure ESET is gone from the list.

Make sure you have the latest Windows Update and any other anti-virus program removed.

Reinstall ESET

I have the same problem. I find it extremely annoying that I have chosen to pay for an AV and i cannot use it.

I don't know how to do all those things listed above. This should not be just for geeks This thing should just work.
