Cannot install any Google apps

I've got a problem executing the Google app down-loaders, it reads: "Google Update installation failed with error 0x800407c ".

This happens with Earth and Chrome. I've searched for days with no similar features.

could it just be permissions ? maybe try right click run as admin ?

Hi Welcome to SF,

I guess the problem is with Audit Mode

Follow these Steps
1. Go to Start > Run and type in the following and then press OK: regedit
2. Find the following reg key:

The value of 'ImageState' in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\State

3. Right click and Export
4. Type a File name "Regbackup"
5. Right click the reg key and select Modify
6. Delete the value then press OK.

Then try to install it

Hope this helps

Oh my ! I didn't have the slightest optimism for your solution but it did the job!
Thanks pal.
What made this issue ?

Happy new year brother, and may the next one be bugs free !

Hi! This workaround helped me too! One question, though: Do You have any idea what this Audit Mode is good for? Why was my computer in Audit Mode anyway? Thanx in advance!
