Hello, thanks for the answer. I disabled only the File Shield and then it installed.
So it should been the file shield that blocked writing to the pfds.

So, anyone knows why AVG thinks that any pdf downloaded via steam should be blocked and the only way to install these games (Example today was Endless space 2 but I other have had the same issue) is to disable the avg antivirus while installing the game. otherwise the pdfs are a just blocked with write error and no notice from avg.
Steam only show write disk error.

Thank you for checking it for us, Lars.
Was AVG blocking them as threat detection or do you receive any error message?
If you see any error or threat detection pop up from AVG, please share a screenshot of it.

Lars, could you check the program version of AVG installed on your PC?
Open AVG, click Menu -> About.
If it is 20.10.xxxx, please repair AVG and check if the issue is resolved.
