Stop Background Tasks

A conflicting task is said to be a process or a service that requests a volume which is currently being used by another application. Certain applications are known to cause such conflicts. In order to resolve this issue, you will have to first determine which task is causing conflicts with the installation of Google Earth.

To reveal the list of currently running tasks, open Task Manager. Expand the user interface and then open the Startup tab.

Download Updates

Your system may be missing some critical Windows updates needed to be installed before you can install Google Earth. Go to Settings > System > Update & Security. Download all important updates, restart your system and re-initiate the setup launcher.

Use Cleanup Tool

Microsoft designed the Windows CleanUp tool to diagnose any issues that may arise during the installation, repair, upgrade and uninstaller processes related to Google Earth and other applications. Although Microsoft no longer supports this product, you may download it from a third party server.

Windows CleanUp Utility Download Page:

This tool will help you erase any files associated with the installation of Google Earth. Although these files provide critical help during the installation process, they are no longer required once the installation has been aborted due to Google Earth Installer Error 2. To remove such files after any failed installation attempt, you need to open the Windows CleanUp Utility and perform a sweep operation. Once you’re done, reboot your system and re-initiate the installation of Google Earth.

Change Internet Proxy Settings

Fire up Internet Properties dialog box using “inetcpl.cpl” in Run. Go to LAN Settings from the Connections tab. Make sure the box named “Automatically detect settings” is checked. Apply the changes and then exit all dialog boxes.

Google Earth desktop is going away; it is being replaced with Google Earth Web App. That should not be a big surprise in this connected world. For more details, read THIS.

However, Google is still producing new builds of Google Earth as the Web App version still has serious limitations. Google has also changed the way that you can deploy Google Earth and removed the old copy the .MSI from %temp% trick. In fact, HERE Google stated that process was a bug that they have squashed. Fortunately they have made a new way to deploy Google Earth silently:

Note that we included the whole process in case Google changes the links again. If it were us, I would just click start at step 5 or 7 below and see if it still works 🙂

How To Install Google Earth Pro Silently:

Google Earth Error 126

Note that if you do not download the full install (as detailed above), and simply go to Google.com/earth and then AGREE AND DOWNLOAD, you will have the wrong version and the process below will not work.

Running as an administrator (yes, installing Google Earth requires admin rights now), add OMAHA=1 to the end of it. For example:

googleearthprowin-7.3.1-x64.exe OMAHA=1

In PDQ Deploy it should look like the image on the right.

Note that this silent install will do two annoying things:

Google Earth Error 1603

1. It will put a GoogleEarth shortcut on your desktop
   • which you could easily enough write a small script to remove, but it is annoying all the same
2. It will set GoogleEarth to receive automatic updates

Google Earth Install Error 1603

Google confirms (in THIS post) that OMAHA=1 is the only switch and therefore the only way to easily silently install GoogleEarth now.
