During the installation of AVG security application, such as AVG Antivirus or AVG Internet Security, the following error may occur:
Local machine: installation failed
Initialization:
Error: Connecting to item registry root HKCU (username) failed.
Error 0×80070005 or Access Denied
The solution is to run the installer from the command prompt with the following parameter tagged on the end of the command line:
/IGNORE_USER username
The AVG application will hopefully now install.
