@TTVTheNubShadow Try disabling your antivirus, if you use one. And if you use a VPN, disable that as well.

If that doesn't help, please let me know what country you're in.

@TTVTheNubShadow Okay, keep AVG disabled for now, and make sure there are no Avast services running in the Task Manager. (They'd be under background processes.) Please let me know where exactly the install stops, and what happens when it does. If you get an error message, please post a screenshot.

For whichever computer you want to troubleshoot on, please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
