Download Google Earth 7.0

.

Go to http://earth.google.com and download the latest version (7.0 is the default download but still in beta). Save it to your
computer.

Run the installer

.
Double-click the installer. As it runs, open a Windows Explorer window and type %temp% in for the path.

Grab the installer files

.
Look for the most recently-created folder in %temp% and copy it somewhere for safekeeping.

Make your admin installation


Open a command prompt and browse to where you copied the files from %temp%. Use the following command line:
4

"msiexec /a "google earth.msi"

.
(Be sure to include the quotes as the installer has a space in the name).

Follow the installer and when it asks for a path to install the administrative installation to, browse to a folder on the network that is
globally accessible.

Use the administrative installation point to deploy


Now you can use your favorite deployment method - SCCM 2012, Group Policy, etc.

Run the command from the administrative installation point on the network like so:

msiexec /i "Google Earth.msi" /q

(Remember the quotes again) This does a normal install and puts links on the desktop. Enjoy!
