One bad day this can happen to you: when you try to install Chrome after downloading its setup file, you’ll get a dialog from Google Chrome Installer with the message “ Installation failed. The Google Chrome installer failed to Start”. What you need to do to install your favorite browser again? Here is the article that offers fix for the issue.
Fix Chrome’s ‘Update failed (error: 7),.. Error code=0×00000000′
The fix involves editing registry, so if you’re unaware of registry editing take the help of other advanced users near you.
1. Open registry editor by typing regedit in the run command
2. Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Google\Update\Clients\, on the left pane, right click on the key {430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D}’ and select ‘Delete’ button.
3. Now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \Google\Update\Clients\, delete the key {430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D} and all its sub folders.
4. For 64-bit Windows, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update\Clients, and delete this key {430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D} and all its sub folders shown on the right pane.
5. Now close Registry Editor and try to install Chrome again, this time it will work as happened with me.
Install Both Google Search and Chrome On Windows 8 from “Get Your Google Back” Site
In fact, I had not found the key mentioned above for the registry entry in the second step, I have found it on the registry entry said in the third step.
excellent, it worked for me. thanks
Glad it worked you, you’re welcome.
excellent!!! it worked :) Thank you.
Thanks lot
Thanks a lot!
Many thanks to you!!!!!
You made my day, thanks!
Really! glad to know that.
Great solution, thanks a million. Even the Google Chrome help site couldn’t fix this.
great solution! very very well
this is worked! thank you so much~!
this didnt work for me i dont have anything chrome related and i want to reinstall it but it wont let me still gives me “Installation Failed. The Google Chrome Installer failed to Start”
cheers, helped alot! now to work out why once installed correctly it wont load grrr
Glad to know that, and you’re welcome here lystria.
thanks alot. really glad it worked.
Doesn’t help here.
Google doesn’t show a feedback button when I click on the link (which appears when getting the error) which shows line #3 as the solution. That sucks.
I think it’s hard to contact Google anyway. I think that’s evil. (Just as with Microsoft and other big companies who don’t offer an easy way to contact. They always point to useless forums and FAQ’s. I think those companies don’t have a clue about what’s user friendly and what not.) Google doesn’t show an option to download the english version of Chrome. That’s evil too.
Same error as Chris, but then in another language:
‘De installatie is mislukt. Het starten van het installatieprogramma van Google Chrome is mislukt.”
Btw, I had the reverse as topic starter: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \Google\Update\Clients\; not HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \Google\Update\Clients\.
It doesn’t help man! I found the key(at I think so!), but everytime I try to delete it, a box appears which says that I can’t delete the key! now what should I do? It’s so depressing without chrome i just can’t do anything! and Im stuck wid this fucking firefox! please reply fast dude…im in huge trouble
Do you’ve admin privileges?. Try to open Regedit from command window and then try to delete the key.
Didn’t work for me… I didn’t even have that registry key. Nor does running it under admin privileges.
Just to save you some pain and if no one else has mentioned it yet ( I haven’t read the comments). On 64bit Windows, the registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeGoogleUpdate.
Took me a while to find it.
u saved my time bro ty alots
Bro, you’re my lifesaver! Been struggling for about 3 days with the installation malfunction… After it took some time I thought it was pulling one on me, but then it worked! Thanks a million!
Already mentioned the 64-bit registry key in the article.
I also delete that key. But doesn’t work .
Surya try Chrome alternate offline installer https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/126299?hl=en
Thanks Joe, I had been trying the other registry keys until I read your suggestion, and after using the “wow6432 Node” I was able to re-install Chrome successfully. This is the only key to use if you have 64bit Windows OS.
Thanks for the information. This worked for me. Had to locate the RegKey within the wow6432Node
pls can u help me 2 install chrome plsssssssssssssss
Oh god bless you all I was finally able to install beloved Chrome! I also needed the 64 bit clue.

Joe: I didn’t see where it was for a 64bit until I had followed through the first step, I was about to go to step three since I was not getting the results I needed in 2 and that was when I saw it’s for a 64 bit. Mine is a 32 bit. Do you know what I can do from here? Really feel broken now.

Worked great for me on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
Prior to editing the Registry, I could not upgrade Chrome,
or install it. The last registry edit (#4) did the trick.
Thanks a TON!! This worked for me!! After looking through multiple sites, I saw the comments on this page and thought I’ll give your method a try. Worked PERFECTLY!!
Glad that my site doesn’t disappointed you krish, welcome to Techdows, thanks for stopping by.
Wow it really worked, Thanx!!!
Hi,
I dint find both keys .. what key should be deleted if in case of windows8.Please help me out,Thanks in advance
Windows 7, 8 or 10 doesn’t make any difference, you can see the same paths for the registry keys. Ensure you’re navigating to them correctly or take the help of experienced user near by.
Thnx Bro
I know this page is like 5 years old but I owe you a big beer. Thank you
it works… thanks bro
Thanks a bunch! Found this after trying to remove viruses from chrome and firefox, now it works again
Awesome fix…!!! nearly had to use IE.. travesty averted..!
Thank you so much! the following worked for me:
4. For 64-bit Windows, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update\Clients, and delete this key {430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D} and all its sub folders shown on the right pane.
