    I originally un-installed Chrome, because it began having issues. None of the pages would load. The Chrome tools page wouldn't even load, so I could delete the history, cookies, etc. After un-installing, I haven't been able to reinstall because of this error message.

    No changes were made prior to the issue. The exact error message is what is pictured on the screenshot. After I click "ok", it does nothting. I get the error after I click "download Chrome" , then "accept and install". Yes, the issue only occurs while attempting to install Chrome. Yes, I'm able to install other things with no problem.
