I keep getting strange errors: Some files are locked in installation folder.

Manually delete the installation folder before trying to install. Also, delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\Thinker\AppData\Local\temp".

@chawoobie Tried 10 times with Revo Uninstaller, used offline / online installer = same result.

Thank you very much!
Tried your method, but the situation is the same.
Have no idea what to do.

Opera can't be installed, can't be uninstalled.
A lot of people have same problem.
Is it not possible to understand why and fix the cause?
I'm willing to provide any diagnostic information.
After all, it is also useful for Opera itself to find out the cause of the error and fix it.

@adroman Delete everything in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp" and "C:\Windows\temp" and then try to uninstall again. Then, after the install fails, look in those folders for an installer log file and see what it says.

@adroman The Content-Length error is normal. The "failed to find string" errors are normal. "The Installer process did not complete successfully." error is too vague.
