Hi,

- Download the GoogleEarthSetup.exe setup.
- Open your %temp% folder.
- Start the executable
- The complete MSI, INI, MST's will be placed in a temp folder

For quite some languages there are MST's allready in the folders.
I'm in NL here, so I took the 1043.MST.

I added the following registry part to make sure all users will get the NL flavour and no startup tips:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus]
"enableTips"="false"
"locale"="nl-NL"

.. and I remarked the CreateShortcuts action, beceause we're working with RES for icon management.

I have just done google earth, I decided to turn of the little pictures on the bottom of the main GUI. Turns out that is by going to view and removing tour guide. Heres the reg key...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Earth Plus\TourGuide\Filmstrip]
"Enabled"="false"

Script

## Set up FileSystemWatcher
# MS Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher(v=vs.110).aspx
# Watches %temp% for changes in file names or file writes for MSI files
# Current versions of GoogleEarth no longer use '.tmp' as the extension
$Watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
$Watcher.Path = $env:temp
$Watcher.Filter = "*.msi"
$Watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $false
$Watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true 
$Watcher.NotifyFilter = [System.IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite'

## Set up event handler
$Action = {
    $Path = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath 
    Write-Host "Found Installer:" $Path 
    Copy-Item $Path C:\temp -Force
    Write-Host "Gotcha! Installer copied to C:\temp"
}

## Register the event and wait until it's done
$Event = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $Watcher -EventName "Changed" -Action $Action -MaxTriggerCount 1 
while ($Event.State -eq 'NotStarted') {Start-Sleep 1}

Usage

• Create C:\temp or edit the script to make it dump the file elsewhere.
• Open the Google Earth installer, but do not continue the install process yet.
  
• Run the script in an elevated PowerShell (same privilege context as the admin user that you will run the installer as).
• Return to the GE installer and accept the install defaults.
  
• Unless Google changed something since I wrote this, you should get a nice little message from the script as it exits after dumping the installer in C:\temp. Assuming they keep doing something to this effect and it DOES change, this code should be fairly adaptable assuming you have some PS experience.
  

Sample Output / Usage

PS C:\temp> .\googleearth-win-pro-7.1.7.2602.exe
PS C:\temp> .\ge_msifetch.ps1
Found Installer: C:\Users\nulldog\AppData\Local\Temp\GoogleEarth-Pro.msi
Gotcha! Installer copied to C:\temp
PS C:\temp> ls .\GoogleEarth-Pro.msi


    Directory: C:\temp

KACE managed installation setup instructions:

Download the Google Earth installer from here: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html and within the advanced setup uncheck the automatic updates. This will change the download to the standalone installer.

Convert the .exe into a .zip file (I just extracted and then added to a zip archive, though I'm sure there is a better way), and then upload it to the K1000.

For run parameters, type GoogleEarth.msi followed by whatever switches you'd like (you can use the standard msi switches).

For exaple I am just running it silently, so mine looks like this:

googleearth.msi /q
