Avast 2014.. Install seems OK, but remains Unprotected.

Well, it is good you finally got your install, but, MBAM has never interfered in any way on the installs I have done.

IF MBAM blocked anything, it would be logged/quarantined.

It's good it never was a problem for you, but there is no question MBAM is the reason the installed failed.  Perhaps you're only looking at it from the angle of MBAM looking at Avast as a virus.  Could simply be something in MBAM that stops programs from installing a key to the registry, the operating system, or something to that effect.  But, I haven't a clue because MBAM never appeared to be in the way until I disabled it on start-up.
