Unable to reinstall Mac Home AV free ed

I have used this successfully for a while, but the upgrade to Mavericks and 9.1 seems to have killed it. The auto-update became sporadic and then gave continual authentication errors. It did manage to complete a scan, but the progress window showed otherwise. All a bit flaky.

I decided to remove it with AppZapper and reinstall. The installer runs, but it quits with an "unable to install" message. What is the wisdom on this?

    I've (hopefully) attached it below.  Save it to your desktop.  You'll need to change the file extensions from .sh.txt to just .sh...

    Then open Terminal and run as described before.  It should look like this...
