Google Updater is not in C:\Program Files\Google\Google Updater\GoogleUpdater.exe folder.
instead it is in C:\Program Files\Google\Update\1.1.25.0\GoogleUpdater.exe
And it does not accept -Unistall option – cannot, no such option is available in code of program.
The older “GoogleUpdaterService.exe” (typically installed in C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater) that has no uninstaller entry can be uninstalled with the following command line:
GoogleUpdaterService /UnregServer
This will stop the service and delete it´s entry so that the EXE can be deleted.
Verified with version 2.0.767.25472
Martin K – Thanks !
GUpdater successfully removed from my XP Services console.
@ Martin. Thanks for this fix! I’ve been trying to get the darn thing to stop running when I reboot. Much appreciated.
Thanks Martin, your post got me to check for the Old GoogleUpdaterService.exe file and sure enough : ) I didn’t delete it in the same manner as you detailed but I was successful just the same; thanks to your advice.
Many thanks sir.
it seems that does the trick from all the post I see, but since I am a computer novice I don´t know how to add the command line to the file. I know it probably sounds stupid, but if you could help me out or anyone else who has knowledge on how to get that accomplished. Thank you.
i dont know why you guys are making it complicated when there is a simple way of disabling the service?
