[yid4eva]

Any user of Google Chrome may experience this issue after uninstalling Google Chrome then trying to reinstall it again at a later date. On trying to reinstall Chrome you may recieve an 0x00000003 Error as shown in the pic below:



To fix this problem and to be able to reinstall Chrome again follow these steps:


1: Create a new blank text document on your desktop, open it then paste the following text into it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; WARNING, this file will remove Google Chrome registry entries
; from your Windows Registry. Consider backing up your registry before
; using this file: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows XP

; To run this file, save it as 'remove.reg' on your desktop and double-click it.

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Upd ate\Clients\{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}]

2. Go to My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View> Remove the tick from "Hide extensions for known file types"

This will now show your text document on your desktop with the .txt extension at the end of it.

3. Right click the document and select rename. Rename the document as Remove.reg

The text document icon will change to a .reg file that will remove all Google Chrome registry entries once double clicked and the removal process is confirmed by the user.

Once all the registry entries are removed you will be able to reinstall Google Chrome.

Finally go back to My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View> Put the tick back in "Hide extensions for known file types" to hide the file extension type.
