Installation Error 0xC0070652

Trying to uninstall AVG to return to AVG Free, and it keeps coming up with the following message:

Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

Severity: Error
Error code: 0xC0070652
Error message: Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

Additional message: MSI Engine: Failed to initialize the package.
Context: Initialization

Have tried using the Remove AVG available from the website, and it just sat "Downloading Updates" for 2 hours. Any suggestions?
