    Files you are saying to look for are not fond. I have a fresh startup of windows 10 and there is no per-existing google installation. No files as you specify,..
    I am still however getting the Unspecified Error message and unable to install chrome. Have not had a successful attempt, so again, no files as you specify exist.

      @Andrew: This is strange. Try to run the Chrome installer with Administrative privileges. (Right click on installer > Run as Administrator) or try to install an older version of chrome.

    Hi, I was having the same issues. I disabled the McAfee real time scanning and it worked like a charm.

    "Unable to connect to the internet. If you use a firewall, please whitelist GoogleUpdate.exe"

      @LenovoX: If you use a firewall program then disable or uninstall it. Then, check you Internet access with another program. Apply the instructions mentioned on the post

    Turning off McAfee real time scanning solved the problem for me.

    I've tried everything including this topic. I'm at a loss right now for what I can do. I've run scans with my antivirus as suggested and nothing is working. I don't have McAfee on my laptop at all as I've never been a fan of that specific brand. I can download just about any other browser but Chrome isn't letting me reinstall it.

    **I've uninstalled due to some issues with it and was going to reinstall right away because that helped the last time I had the same issue. Below is what I keep getting:

    When I got to this stage, 4. Now navigate to this subfolder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\Clients\{430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D} and clicked on update, the only subfolders listed were ClientState, network and proxy. I clicked on ClientState, but none of the options matched what I was supposed to look for. What now?

      On Windows 64bit the path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update\Clients\{430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D}
