==Download==
 Download the installer from [http://dl.google.com/earth/client/advanced/current/GoogleEarthWin.exe], '''not from the main download site'''. The file you'll get from the main download site is a wrapper that downloads and executes the installer. If you insist on using it, you'll have to use [http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/21026-deploying-google-earth-7-0-silently this procedure from the Spiceworks community] to get an MSI. Current Download (5always latest release, 7.21.212.15882041 as of this writing): http://dl.google.com/earth/client/advanced/current/GoogleEarthWin.exe

To get the Google Earth.msi file, extract it from the .exe installer file using an unzip program, or use the .exe installer's '/A' command line option to perform a installation to a network share.

This uninstall string is correct as of 7.1.2.2041.
For other versions check out the line beginning "ProductCode=" from Setup.ini in same directory as google earth.msi.
Note that setup.ini is in the self-extractor, but won't appear when you use /a to make an administrative install point!
