Windows 10: Cannot Install Google Earth

Brand new install of win10. Every day another hassle.

Today I go for google earth and realise yep, I haven't put it back yet.

So go to download/install it.

First I get a google chrome error: 0x80070005.

Hassle around, googling and finish up with a google earth downloading app error: 0x80070057.

Hassle around some more, different downloads of GE and finish up with an error 'Code 2'.

It's hopeless.

I can't get anywhere.

Can anyone help, anyone got any idea what's perhaps going on here?

:)

 

Google Earth Pro... for who?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:

• When you say, “I found the Chrome version too limiting, so I downloaded a copy” Did you download a copy of Google Chrome or download Google Earth?
  
• What happens when you try to move the Earth?
  
• Do you get any error message/code?
  

However, I suggest you to refer the section Stop Earth from spinning
from the article
Fix Google Earth errors provided by Google and instead of unchecking put a check mark for the option Enable Controller.



For any installation related issues with Google Earth, please refer the article

Install & uninstall Google Earth Pro.



For versions of Google Earth, you can refer the link

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
