• Google Chrome Installer Failed To Start Windows 7

Processing Thanks. Here's a timeline I can assemble from those logs: 10:13:43: Chrome 34.0.1847.116 uninstalled started 10:14:19: uninstaller timed out waiting for a GoogleUpdate process.

Can't Install

10:14:19: uninstall complete 10:14:19: MSI executed 10:15:32: MSI failed 10:59:09: Chrome 34.0.1847.116 installed started 10:59:20: install complete Based on., my guess is that Google Update was busy doing something else and therefore refused to run the installer contained in the.msi. If you can reproduce this error, it will be very helpful to see the log from Google Update. To capture it, create a file named C: GoogleUpdate.ini (you'll need to be an Administrator to do this) and put the following in it: LoggingLevel LCUTIL=6 LCSETUP=6 LCSHELL=6 LCCORE=6 LCJS=6 LCPLUGIN=6 LCSERVICE=6 LCOPT=6 LCNET=6 LCREPORT=6 LoggingSettings EnableLogging=1 LogToFile=1 Then try the installer again. This should create a log file in either C: ProgramData Google Update Log or C: Documents and Settings All Users Application Data Google Update Log, depending on your OS version.

Please find that log and attach it. Processing The attached chromeinstaller.log shows: Feb 25 11:56:20: successful install of 34.0.1847.116 Feb 25 12:51:49: successful uninstall of 34.0.1847.116 Feb 25 13:51:59: successful install of 40.0.2214.111 Feb 26 14:31:34: successful install of 34.0.1847.116 is the chromeinstaller.log you provided from C: Windows Temp? If so, please check for one in the user's%TEMP%. The msi log you provided shows a failure to install 34.0.1847.116 at 14:37:44, which is after teh success at 14:31:34. Do you have any idea why this is?

Processing Bibin - I was able to resolve my issue. Not sure if yours is related, but in my case, it turned out I had registry key HKLM Software Policies Google Update that contained some registry values. (this might have been set by a group policy I have that configures Chrome settings - still looking into that. This policy - unfortunately - applies only to the ONE development machine I was conducting my testing on! Hence, it failed on this machine, but installed properly on all others). In any case, once I deleted those keys, the application installed properly - no more 1722 errors.

(I've also seen some postings that indicate similar keys may exist under HKLM Software Google Update). Processing In windows power shell if I do: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Processing Also, this VBScript works.

Processing The Windows SDK ships with a tool called oleview.exe. For some reason I don't see this tool installed with the Windows 10 SDK (maybe it's been killed?) but I do see it in the Windows 8.1 SDK and earlier versions. If you have one of these SDKs installed, perhaps you can run this tool. Then expand Object Classes - All Objects and scroll all the way down to the X's.

You should see the following (sample): XML Document XML Document 3.0 XML DOM Document XML DOM Document XML DOM Document 3.0 XML DOM Document 5.0 XML DOM Document 6.0 You can right click on any of these and choose 'Create Instance'. One or more of them will most likely fail. It would be useful to know which ones. Perhaps manually restoring the registry settings of whichever ones fail to a known good state will solve the problem. Processing Cc: -sorin@chromium.org Owner: sorin@chromium.org Status: Assigned My guess is that the 32-bit variant of this Xmlinst tool was run in replace mode on your machine. As the article you referenced states 'Note If you run Xmlinst.exe, Xmlinst.exe may cause system instability, and it may cause programs to fail.

Google Chrome Installer Failed To Start Windows 7

After you run Xmlinst.exe, the computer is in an unsupported state. Also, the changes that are made by Xmlinst.exe are global to the computer on which Xmlinst.exe was run, and these changes affect all the programs that use the MSXML parser.' , so this may not be something that Chrome's installer can detect and work around. Sorin and Ganesh: could you investigate whether or not Google Update can function in this configuration? If not, could we set up a help center article for this failure mode so that users can self-heal via the instructions in.
