If your Google Chrome installer never gets past the ‘Connecting to the Internet…’ stage and you access the web through a work/school/university network, or other proxy, it may be that your proxy requires you to put in a password (ie authenticate). (If you get the error message “Send request returned 0×80042197. Http status code 407.” this is also likely to be your problem.)
The Chrome installer is trying to download itself, but the geniuses (yes, really) at google forgot to put in a password input box. Until Google releases an updated installer, you can download the full Chrome installer here:
http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/149.29/chrome_installer.exe
Once you have that file, all ya gotta do is run it. Have a good one!
cheers for the tip mate!
wow thanks, dude!
Thanks. I was trying to convince my boss to deactivate the proxy for a while… not needed anymore.
great help !!! I was wondering why it did not prompt for password
THANK YOU!!!
Cheers
Thanks for that link, I’ve been trying to get it downloaded all morning, but corporate our firewall has been doing everything in it’s power to bugger it up.
I really cannot believe that Google didn’t do a better job of the downloader.
To all: no worries, always welcome!
Thank you!
Thanks!!!
I have the same problem.
my gosh andy, looks like you hit a niche!
It seems to use the OS’s proxy settings, *but* even after putting the proxy there correctly, things doesn’t work for me. I need to use proxy to bypass some filtering.
Thanks from Modena, Italy.
Thanks for that TCA.
What is it with Google and proxies. Gears is the same, won’t install from behind a proxy.
Thanks, Muchas Gracias, from Argentina !!
I have Chrome installed on my thumb drive just like firefox but Chrome wants me to authenticate telling me that the proxy requires a username and password and it doesn’t. Other thing, why is Chrome using ie for its LAN settings and why doesn’t it work with these setting because ie works just fine?
Even after installing in this way there are still problems with pages not fully loading or displaying at all while in a proxy protected environment. I installed it at home and it works great!
Once again, you guys are all welcome
Yeah, my installation also doesn’t load parts of some pages (like… gmail for example?) I have no idea why that is.
Larry, I think it uses IE to make it simple, so you don’t need to manually change every browser and application when you switch networks. It would be nice to have the option of independent settings, though.
I have been trying to figure out how to install Chrome behind the corporate proxy for days since the release. Thanks for this!
perfect! I was having a same problem..thanks for tip!
You just saved my life, couldn’t have chrome because of my company’s firewall, grrrrr
cheers !
I just thought I would never get to see this
Thanks Buddy!!
in my case after “connecting to internet” installer program shows “downloading…” and then it goes on for few minutes and says: Installer download failed. Error code = 0x80072efd
wow you’ve all now downloaded a browser that you’re not going to use for another 6 months because it’s a beta that still needs massive work done to it
yea, proberly, but at least i can say, hey have u tried the new google browser? i have!
Love you man!
thanks alot hayesy
cool simple tip
i found numbers of exes running while i started chrome. without opening a single web page it starts two exes and further one exe for each tab. i don’t know it’s a bug or not, but it’s gonna take a huge memory space and process time creating multiple exes if you open good numbers of tabs together. i hope google people are aware of this issue and give us a better Chrome in final release. but above all it’s pretty fast and good looking, also very light weight. thanks to google.
Debarshi, tis not a bug: its a feature. (Well, obviously not if you’re light on memory, but..) The idea is that every tab is its own instance of the program – which means if one crashes, it doesn’t bring down the whole lot. I suspect it’s also key in the ‘drag a tab into its own window’ feature.
Thanks a lot buddy, great work .
