Hello, i'm having a problem with installing Opera GX. Before I start, I already had OGX, but for the umpteenth time didn't open. This time I unistalled it (with leaving my personal data) and tried to install it but failed. Tried with both online and offline mode, changed location of the installer and run it with administrator....same error. If gives me the error when the installation is almost complete.

Translation of the image:
The installation of Opera didn't work.
An error occured during the installation of Opera!
I'm using Windows 10 pro.

@lavaholed Any difference if you run the installer as admin?

@leocg no. Error persist as I've mentioned in the topic. Is there a solution for this? I use OGX as my main browser.

@lavaholed Can you install other programs? if you create a new user, can you install Opera?

@leocg Yes I can install other programs (I tried with normal Opera), also what do you mean with creating a new user?

@leocg How do I create a new user? Also you sure something will change? What if it's something corrupted in my opera gx data files? I'll try moving it and installing opera without that data.

@leocg quick update: seems that by moving my data to somewhere else (so opera gx can't find it) didn't change anything. Now i'll try this thing about using a different user.

@leocg OK. Created a new user and it worked, but:

1. I don't have my data of course
2. I always have to switch user to access OGX

@lavaholed That means that something on your current user is preventing Opera GX from being installed.

Maybe a setting or a program, don't know.
