Google Chrome will not install? - UnCommonly_NaSty - 05-02-2014 05:48 AM
I tried to install Google Chrome onto my windows 8 laptop but for some reason it does not let me. A message pops up saying "Installation failed due to unspecified error, If Google Chrome is currently running please close it and try again" what can I do???

Wondering if chrome was previously installed? Download revo uninstaller, run it, see if there is a google chrome icon listed, uninstall using 'advanced', make sure to check mark and delete everything that comes up. You can also use ccleaner to clean your registry. Then install chrome again.
Another way to install chrome which might go around the problem is to go to ninite.com, check mark Chrome at top of list, click 'get installer' at bottom, and run the installer which will install chrome for you. Finally, If none of these things work, use chrome canary for now. Its cutting edge but I've never had any problems with it.
I also found a link for you that may address this issue.
