Google Chrome won't install via IE9/Windows7

Question

Using IE9, I've tried installing Google Chrome on Windows 7 from this url http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=en-GB&platform=win

But get the following error (apologies for uncouthly dumping this nonsense...)

Any ideas dearly appreciated!

Solution

You could use the Portable version of Chrome http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?

Try right clicking on the standalone installer and clicking "Run as administrator".

[Rhys]

Important line here is "The system cannot find the file specified" check to make sure you have permissions to install programs and make sure that your disk is clean with a chkdsk.

Tried that alternative installer but arrive at same error message. It's almost as though Internet Explorer 9 is prohibiting the deed.

[Moab]

Do an IE reset, Internet Options>Advanced Tab

[Synetech]

@purir, But IE has nothing to do with it if you use the standalone installer.
