Finding a good browser for many is a problem. The debate about which web browser is better has been going on for a long time. But to decide which is better is possible for each user individually. In addition, depending on the goals, you can choose one or another option. But the most popular now is Google Chrome. Why “Chrome” is not installed, we will find out further.
The choice
Of course, it’s difficult to speak unequivocally about why a person chose a particular browser. But there are some statistics that show already established trends. So, Opera is downloaded by those who read articles on websites a lot. This is because the web browser has the best system for scaling and fitting text to the size of the display.
Despite the fact that Internet Explorer has not been updated for a long time, and its fellow Edge is gaining popularity, this browser can still be found on the computers of some users. It is usually used as the best protection for sensitive data. There is a percentage of people who carry out financial transactions through IE.
Mozilla Firefox until recently had the highest processing speed until it was overtaken by our hero. Now they return to it, if "Chrome" is not installed. The rest of the "Mozilla" is used due to a wide range of tools.
But Google Chrome has become popular as the fastest web browser. And if earlier ordinary users had other options, now everyone has switched to this one, because it makes no sense to use slow versions. In addition, those who work a lot with Google services are simply obliged to use this particular browser. Since access to the "Google" applications in it is carried out with one click.
Web browser
But first, some background information. It is easy to guess that this brainchild of Google was developed on the basis of Chromium. The engine was Blink. For the first time, a web browser became known in 2008. It was then that the first public version appeared. Now about 300 million people have installed Chrome on their devices. This makes it the most popular among other competitors. The market share for the summer of 2016 amounted to almost 60%.
How to install?
Before you understand why Chrome is not installed, you need to go through the installation procedure. Of course, this is unlikely, but perhaps you are making some kind of mistake at this very moment. So, download the web browser from the official site. Not all resources conscientiously provide a good version. Some may be crammed with ads, or in the worst case viruses.
The browser file itself is small, because it is not it, but the installation file. Therefore, do not be surprised at its size. Next, click on the downloaded document. Installation begins. The web browser itself will be unloaded from the Web. Perhaps it is at this stage that you do not have Chrome installed. The reasons may be different. We will talk more about this later.
the Internet
If Google Chrome crashes, then something’s probably not right for it. There can be many reasons, and it is impossible to describe everything, since some can be completely unpredictable. As mentioned earlier, the installation does not occur on the Internet, but immediately after the downloaded installer file. It weighs about 500 kb.
Some users believe that since they downloaded this document, they no longer need the Internet. This is not true. The file needs to be connected. Therefore, if you have unstable Internet, Google Chrome may not be installed.
So, the first reason is network outages. If you lost the Internet during the installation of the browser, you will need to resume downloading. An error code 0x80072ee2 will appear in the window. So, you just need to either resume the download, or restart this file and start again.
Memory
The process itself may be interrupted while downloading the file itself. Moreover, even if you finally "settled down" the Internet connection. At first, you will still sin on the network, but take a closer look at the error code. If you see 0x80070070, then the problem is different.
By the way, when these numbers appear, the browser itself for some reason does not provide additional information about the error. That is, if you have already encountered it, you know that you have to independently search for its cause on the Internet. It’s good that at least the search will tell you that you have ERROR_DISK_FULL before you.
If you don’t have Google Chrome installed in this case, you need to delete unnecessary files, view all temporary documents, cache, used programs and applications. In general, you can just look at drive C. If you see that there are only a couple of megabytes left, then, of course, you need to clean the system.
In general, if your memory is so clogged up, then you need to think about its expansion. This is caused not only by the fact that you will not be able to download programs. Because of this “clogging”, you will often experience system braking, because even for temporary data that is in the buffer, there will be no place. Therefore, try to make sure that the disk is at least a quarter free. Especially when it comes to drive C.
Previous Versions
Many people ask why Google Chrome is not installed after they removed the previous version. In this case, you need to remember that the problem may be due to incorrect uninstallation. It so happened that the browser does not have a special utility for this. Therefore, inexperienced users can simply delete the folder with Google Chrome.
Now such problems rarely occur, since most users know how best to remove any programs that do not have their own uninstallers. But if you just delete the folder, some entries that are associated with the old version will remain. When installing a new one, a compatibility conflict will occur and a similar error will occur.
To fix this problem, you can download CCleaner. She is very popular and loved by many users. It cleans up all residual files and fixes registry errors. You can also try to eliminate these residues yourself.
Registry cleaning
To do this, run the registry. To do this, press the Win and R buttons simultaneously. A small window will appear above the “Start” window, where you need to enter regedit. This command will open the registry. To quickly find the residual files, you need to use the combination again. Hold Ctrl + F and write the name of our browser in English. Here you can write any other program that you deleted in this way.
In the window that appears, press F3, and the entry that appears should be deleted. So you need to repeat until all entries are deleted.
Antivirus
Another reason Google Chrome may not be installed on Windows 7 is anti-virus programs. Unfortunately, some of them may prevent you from installing a web browser. If so, then you will have to temporarily disable the protection. Then download the installation file again and try restarting the installation. If everything went smoothly, do not forget to turn the antivirus software back on.
Rights
There are errors that immediately appear with an explanation. So, there is a code 0x80072ee7. If this error occurred while loading the browser and Chrome is not installed on Windows 7, then you do not have enough rights.
Previously, when there was a Windows XP operating system, this problem had to be fixed by switching to an administrator account. On the "Seven" just click on one line. After you download the installation file, you usually click on it twice, and the installation starts. In this case, you need to click on the right mouse button. From the list, select "Run as administrator".
By the way, this option works with many similar errors. If you suddenly downloaded another program, but cannot start it, just make a run as administrator.
Delete
It was previously said that there may be problems associated with improper removal. To prevent this from happening, you need to know how to eliminate programs from the computer as a whole, and not in parts. To do this, select "Control Panel" in the "Start". This will open a window. See that in the upper right corner, in the "View" line, "Large icons" are selected.
So you will have a large list of services, among which we are looking for “Programs and components”. From here you can remove all previously installed programs. You can immediately delete, if not installed, "Chrome". After that you can try downloading the file again and installing the browser.
"Ten"
Before the final version of Windows 10 appeared, there was a test build with the code 10525. Of course, not everyone found it, since most switched to the "top ten" with the advent of the official version. By the way, she fixed many of the errors that appeared with the test version. Among them was one when Chrome was not installed on Windows 10 or the web browser did not work.
What to do for those who could not establish is difficult to say. You could try the options described above or contact Google support. Some problems were associated with the compatibility of this browser with the "top ten." But if the web browser did not start, then fixing the error was easier.
Interestingly, specialists from Microsoft and Google knew about this problem. But they were in no hurry to correct it. Most likely, they could not understand what it was connected with. If the user absolutely needed to use this particular browser, the problem could be temporarily resolved.
To do this, the launch had to be done without Sandbox support. There was no particular risk. But still, such a regime was less protected from viral "enemies", and the stability of its work was in question. But this option reduced the memory consumption.
To use this mode, you had to right-click on the shortcut. Go to "Properties". In the line “Object” it was necessary to add the key -no-sandbox. After the patch came out, it was better to exit this mode.
