ZeroHour Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Hi I have just downloaded the latest version of Google Earth 4 which has finally left the beta. If you need a MSI I have provided a download for you that I created. The user cache is stored in c:\program files\google\google earth\usercache It is set to use a maximum of 400mb as per the default. Everyone has full write permissions on the usercache folder. If you have my previous MSI build of version 3 (click here for more info) this MSI will automatically remove my MSI and install version 4 in its place. This should also be safe to do via Group Policy. If you are using the google distro you will have to find another way to remove it from your pc's. PM me if you have any problems and post if it works and as usually I accept no responsibility for problems caused by using my MSI etc Google Earth License Info: See this thread Download Google Earth V4 Build 2722 - For details of availability PM me - MSI Build 1 Download Google Earth V3 Build 762 - For details of availability PM me - MSI Build 1 - Original V3 Post If you download from me please post a message saying, just so I know how popular it is. If my MSI's are popular I will upload more that may be of use. 2
Lord_Edam Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Just been asked to install this in one of our rooms. This'll save me having to leave the officer, cheers
Optics Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 V4 Download keeps halting when approx 50% done. Edit: V3 download halts at approx 90% as well.
ZeroHour Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Hmm smells like your net link mate. Just worked for me. Try a download manager such as Getright
netadmin Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Thank you for posting the file. It is very helpful!
jumpinjamez Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Just downloaded should role it out by the end of the week and let you know how it goes.

Who told ya that? they LIE! lol G.E. is free, for anything (expect commercial) See here for more info as we have discussed it all with google before. Also in that thread you will see that google actually offer schools a license of G.E. Pro edition for free :D Happy downloading
alonebfg Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 sounds good to me will download tomorrow at work
contink Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I've had a good look around the T & C and I can't find anything that indicates that schools should not use the software aside from the fact that the free edition is for "personal use only". Despite this the site positively encourages educators to use the tool so it does seem a little confusing.
alonebfg Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 thats what i thought but i will give it a try i cant find nothing on thee google site saying about education licance
netadmin Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 It looks like it is ok to use it in schools according to this page: http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=42847&topic=1141
Ric_ Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 @ZeroHour: EduGeek cannot condone the distribution of MSIs due to the limitations imposed by software producers with respect to distribution. You should also check this as you may be breaching the license by hosting it on your website. I will be pointing the other site admins to this post to make a decision as to whether the links may be allowed. Sorry to dampen your efforts to help us out but we have to try to avoid legal action.
contink Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Hmm... Not sure whether this is just me as I don't have a clean machine to test this on but when I've tried to install I got a lot of error reporting re: missing png images (I'm guessing UI related stuff). There's also some icon bloat that points back to the build server ZH got everything setup on so perhaps a little tweaking may be in order.

Maybe your download got corrupted?
contink Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 It's probably down to the settings the server still has left over from the old support so it looks like a complete clean out of GPO's and start over is in the works..
benny84w Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 i was wondering when the link for the msi will return, i used your v3 build and it worked great, would like to give this one a go too! btw im new to the forums, looks great, i work in a school and am hoping to get most of our apps pushed out via GP, so this place will come in handy thanks Ben
russdev Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Admins are having conference later this week will add it to agenda to discuss.. Russ
ZeroHour Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 I have spoken to Dos_Box over MSN about it all. If you want to find out about the MSI all people should PM for availability. Cheers 1
