    from the Google product forums:
    the problem lies with GoogleUpdate.exe, its either a bad download, corrupt file or whatnot

    so the solution is to just delete Google Update (it's not necessary to delete registry or any other info)
    follow these steps (it's just a copy paste from "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed." - Chrome Help which is a related problem in my case)

    # Go to Start menu > Run.
    # Enter one of the following directories in the text field, depending on your operating system:

    * Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\
    * Windows Vista: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\

    # Click OK.

    once in that folder locate and delete `Update` Folder and you are done

    now run the installer again and you will be able to install.
