The installation of AVG antivirus ALWAYS fails.

I did all of the things recommended about deleting and resetting things. 

I don't know how to cut out the error message and send it to you, but I wrote
down the text.  Here it is.  I may not have the line endings exactly right,
but I'm sure you will be able to recognize this error message.

That ellipsis was a clickable link.  It brought up the following text, which
seems similar to what was already displayed.  The order is a little
different, and it mentions "rollback".

I did go online, but I didn't learn much.  Can you tell me how to get AVG installed?
