Google Earth 6 will not install in Windows 7
Hi guys, I found an earlier thread on Google earth 5 but the last entry was 505 days old. I tried their suggestions the last of which was this:
googleearth.exe -setOGL
googleearth.exe -setDX
Both took me to the google helpsite page indices. I have tried installing Google Updater with Chrome 12 and GE6. Zilch. Chrome 12 is running fine but when i try installing GE6 I get this error code- 0x80040905. Wikipedia's got a swell fixer tool for it only it ain't compatible w/ Windows 7 nor is there any way to make it compatible.
I have an HP p6330f pavilion Windows 7 Home premium dual pentium processor desktop PC and I run browsers Firefox 3.6.18 (default)(Tried FF 4 and 5 and all they do is crash); Avant 2011 Build 12; Chrome 12; Opera 11.50; IE8 (All IE9 did was crash)
I have tried every workaround imaginable and nothing works. I even tried making GE6 compatible with XP Service Pack 3 to no avail. I can't understand this because up until yesterday I had GE6 installed and running. Now it's gone except from the downloads pages. Can anyone offer anything new to try? Thanks- keimanzero
