I have tried the regular opera installer and the gx installer but for some reason although i have uninstalled the installers and reinstalled them it just closes before it can even start installing, idk if there are any programs on my computer that may be causing it to do this but i have been trying for months and for no reason it keeps crashing. I am using windows 11 (i think 64 bit). I tried getting the installer from both chrome and microsoft edge.

Have you tried the offline installer from the Opera GX section at https://www.opera.com/download?

Could be anti-virus software (if you have something more than Windows Defender). You can temporarily uninstall it (disabling it might not be enough) and test. Then, reinstall it.
You can temporarily create a new user account on Windows (a local one not tied to a Microsoft account) and see if the installer works fine there. The problem might be limited to your user account.
In "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp\.opera", you should see installation logs. Look in "C:\Windows\temp\.opera" too if you were trying to install for all users instead of the current user. In the log for the latest install attempt, you might be able to find the cause. Just note that there are always some errors in the log, so posting the full log (with each line indented by 4 spaces, which is easy to do with Notepad++ with ctrl + a and then tab when indenting is set to 4 spaces in settings -> Preferences -> indentation) here might be necessary so everyone can look at it.

@burnout426 Apologies for the late response but I have checked that and windows defender doesn't cause it as i know others who only use windows defender and their opera works just fine.
