Try this:
open a command prompt, and type in the following (after replacing <your username> with your username): cd "C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\" then type: GoogleUpdate.exe /RegServer |

no update exe and I have tried that before with no success.
So why doesn't the update exe install...maybe that's the question. Maybe do full install once more after permissions fix and reboot |

Anyway that's me finished for today. If anyone else has ideas please post. Will check back tomorrow. If you don't have any luck the utility I prefer for resetting permissions to default is a script built into UVK. You might look into that. The option is in the system repair section.

Just back for one more quick post:
C:\Users\your username\Local Settings\Application Data\ - you are not supposed to get access to that. It should be locked. C:\Users\your username\AppData\ - this should not be locked. More info on paths here: Google Update - GoogleUpdate.exe - Program Information |
