How do I uninstall Google Earth?

How do I uninstall Google Earth?

To uninstall Google Earth, please follow these steps:

1. Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click on Add or Remove Programs.
3. Scroll down to find Google Earth, then click on it.

1. Open the folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files.
2. Locate a folder called Installshield.
3. Right-click on the folder, then click Rename.
4. Rename the folder. (You may want to name it something like Installshield_OLD).
5. Close the folder and re-visit the installer at http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
