Problem solved:
Well, the Avira forum moderator told me to:

Please install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package
hXXp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai.0d-3802b2af5fc2

I did that and it repaired the C++ Redistributable x86 9.0.30729.17 that was
already installed and now the free Avira 10 installed and works just fine.
Just thought I would let others know in case they have a similar problem.
To install ver 10, I just started the setup program and used the middle
choice which was for an update to product and it worked without a hitch (no,
I did not even have to uninstall the ver 9 first).

This is exactly how it worked for me, as well.
