Which is your operational system?
Which are the error messages when you try to install and fail?

No error message, the program doesn't start. I think the antivurus block it at it installation!

My OS is WIN XP 1° edition

avast doesn't block, it reports infected files so you would know (a very loud alarm and pop-up window) if it was avast that stpped you 'during' a program installation.

Your OS is well out of date which could leave you vulnerable to exploits that have already been patched by Microsoft.

What software have you tried to install?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD - 27" external monitor 1440p 2560x1440 resolution - avast! free  24.9.6130 (build 24.9.9452.762) UI 1.0.818/ Firefox, uBlock Origin Lite, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Welcome to the forums, Brando!    :)

A little more info on the Poker client could help someone give you more info on why this is happening.

 :) Poker "Client" sounds like a piece of Spyware !?
