Plagued with Google Update Error 0×8004071c on a fresh Chrome installation?

Last week I decided I would finally take the Google Chrome plunge, and ran into an error screen upon installation on my Windows 7 Ultimate system. If you are seeing Google Update Error 0×8004071c after you run the chrome installer, follow the steps below and it should then run without error:

1. Go to the Start menu > Run.
2. Enter the following in the text box: regedit
3. Click OK.
4. Find and right-click the relevant registry key for your operating system:
   • Windows XP: AuditInProgress in HKLM\System\Setup
   • Windows Vista: ImageState in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\State
   • Windows 7: ImageState in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\State
5. Select Modify.
6. Delete the value.
7. Click OK.
