When the App Store says Open and gives you that error message, what it really means is that the App Store

has detected a copy of Install macOS High Sierra.app in your Applications folder.

Locate it and move it to your Trash, empty the Trash.

Connect your mac to your router via cable. Restart your mac and try the link to the App Store High Sierra

download page, it should now say get or Download.

Do not use the mac while it is downloading or any other devices that share the same internet connection.
