Unable to install Google Chrome Error : 0x80040909

Issue: Google Chrome Stopped Working and not being reinstalled even with Google Chrome Stand alone Setup.

Description: When You try to install Google Chrome online, It just says, "installation failed, Try again." and You can't uninstall it from Add or remove because it's not there and when you download Standalone setup it comes up with error code 0x0040909

Solution: Go to Documents and setting/User/Localsettings/Apps/Google and and delete the folder which says Google Chrome

Note: Repeat the same step with every user profile.

Download the stand alone setup from http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?standalone=1
 But make Sure you uncheck the option which says "set Chrome as your default browser"

and Download the setup and save it to your desktop.

Make sure you run the setup as administrator, in vista there is an option " Run as administrator: 3

But in XP you need to right click the setup and click on Run as

and than un check option which says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized programme Activity"

and than click okay.

and there you Go, Now you won't have any issue using Chrome.

Cheers.
