Problem installing Google Voice and Video Chat Chrome plugIn – FIXED (for me)
I was recently having problems installing Google Voice and Video Chat plugin for Chrome on a new Windows (Win7 x64). After downloading and installing the plugin and restarting Chrome my camera would not be detected, and would ask to reinstall the plugin.
I went into the {Drive}:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Google\Google Talk Plugin directory nothing was there except a log file. I went back to a working profile and seen that the full install was there. I could copy the install to the new profile, it worked but that would be cheating… I wanted to figure out how to fix this without copying the install from one profile to another.
So I backed up a couple directories and a file named googletalkpluginaccel.msi in the {Drive}:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\Google\Update\Install\{ADCFD26D-E545-4AD6-AEA6-4D55EE3ADD19} directory. Double-clicking this file to install did nothing, BUT right clicking on the file and clicking repair from the context menu completed the plugin installation. After restarting Chrome it worked fine!
