@Cappella

Thank you so much.

I don’t want any stupid download manager. I have my own. Let me control my computer.

Thanks a lot again

Perfect! I needed the full installer because I need to deploy Google Earth to a laptop without internet access. (using a pre-filled cache file)

Works for me. Thanks! Got Google Earth in about 30 seconds thanks to Google (for their search) and landing on your page.

Doesn’t work anymore.
Works ok for Mac, but the windows link to directly download the file ends up loading the Google Updater program.
There seems no way now to download the Win program directly.

The link posted by Cappella works fine, links to the 10MB file instead of the small installer file.

To Annoyed,

You can install to a different directory.

1. Run ‘GoogleEarth-Win-Plus-5.0.11337.1968.exe’.

2. Do not click on anything … go to the “Temp” directory and look for a work directory with Google Earth installation files.

3. Look for a MSI file called “Google Earth.msi”. You can use search to find this file to determine the work directory.

4. Go to command prompt, and type this:

“Google Earth.msi” INSTALLDIR=

Whats with the only only one place to install.
Only one place to put the cache.
Only one place to put anything.
I use a drive letter for just the OS.
That way WHEN windows scrags itself I only lose it to the reformat bunnies.

GE installs without warning to my win drive and no choice at all about setup.

I want it on a DIFFERENT drive letter with my other apps.

I would like to not lose my place marks just because windows scrags and some bone headed genius has decided that doc’s & setting’s is the be all and end all of storage places.

The new features are nice but the installation is unsafe.

Even office, dev studio & the sdk’s the very definitions of MS bloat ware let you decide where you want everything. The earlier versions of GE also used to.

So now we are limited to one vision?

Come on Google get some brains back in the game and remember that customers and clients don;t come out of cookie cutters, some of us actually think for ourselves.
