    Did you recently remove or change your disk drive setup?
    Can you tell Google Earth to install to the C: drive instead?

    Does Google Earth work on your laptop? Is that what you are uninstalling? See if you can determine where the program actually is (C:, D:, etc) Is there an E: drive in Windows Explorer?

    If Google Earth is actually on C:, but trying to uninstall from E:, and there is no E: drive, try this:
    Open a Command Prompt window and type (no quotes) "subst e: c:\"
    Now try to uninstall your program.
    Basically, we've mapped the E: drive to the C: drive. Hopefully, this will make the uninstall happy.
    Afterwards, in your Command Prompt window, type: "subst e:"
    This turns off the mapping.

    You could probably use this trick for the install too, but it would be much better to just install to C: instead.

    Best of luck,
    WallyH
