Google Chrome 0x80040508

Google Chrome has just been released (Google Chrome) and I would love to install it but I'm getting the following error:

"Download error. The downloaded file failed verification. Error code = 0x80040508"

The 475KB bootstrap install ChromeSetup.exe downloads okay but when it runs it brings up the message "Downloading Google Chrome..." and then that message.

Looking forward to finding a solution for this...

Update: Thanks to Ricardo's comment, here's an alternate download for Chrome that might solve your problem.

  1. About an hour later the download worked. Not sure if it was a problem at Google's end that they fixed or the particular server that I connected to or something else...

  5. I didn't and don't have McAfee installed so that wasn't my problem... Good luck finding a solution.

  7. Bhavesh - I don't think anybody managed to solve this. You just have to try again later and hope that it works.

  10. Same problem here! Bootstrap download works fine but installation fails. Guess is my company firewall blocking downloads. Every info download needs to be scan by antivirus and saved to disk :(
    No other way to install Chrome?
