    @Tim – Thanks for sharing your findings!
    In general it is good to try and run installers with admin privileges (right-click and then Run as Admin) when the regular install fails. Ownership of the file can also be important, although I don’t see how you would not have ownership of a file that is residing in your User-folder. Must be a specific issue with the googletalk update program.
    But again, thanks.

    I found a fix for the install error 1619:

    I left the error notice open, I opened found where “googletalkpluginaccel.msi” was located

    This is where it is on my computer.
    C:\Users\My user name\AppData\Local\Google\Update\Install\{7C592B52-FB07-4756-AC39-5FB65538AD88}\googletalkpluginaccel.msi

    I use a script I found on the web that adds a “Take ownership” item to the right click of an folder or file.

    I opened Windows Explorer and navigated to the folder install folder, Right clicked on the folder the msi file was, waited for the CMD window to close.

    Then Right clicked “googletalkpluginaccel.msi” selected install.

    Then went to the google Plus page clicked “Start Hangout.”

    It opened right up…

    @George Lea – Try running a system file check, that could also help. You can type “SFC /SCANNOW” at the command prompt.
    If there are any issues with the core Windows files (or their configuration in the Registry), it should get fixed by that.

    I have Windows 6.1.7601, and I’ve tried “icacls * /t /q /c /reset” every conceivable way I can. However, what may be limiting my success is that I never could get past C:\Users\George to the root c:\ using Goto C:\. I also have to say that while I have installed the Take Ownership util, for some other problemic reason every time I right click on “Run As Admin” my Explorer shuts down. It used to work, but the only option I see for fixing Explorer shutting down is to reformat my drive.

    1619 FIX for Google Video Chat Plugin, Should Work for other 1619 errors too I guess.

    WORKS!!! Finally found a fix. I don’t know exactly what fixed it but it is related to Permissions and Ownerships that are messed up in Windows 7. The Google Plugin installer downloads the main msi file somewhere and when it tries to access it, it doesn’t have enough rights so it stalls with 1619 error.

    1. Take ownership of your entire C:, I mean all your System Folders – Windows, Program Data, Documents and Settings etc etc. All the stuff that are hidden and system by default. Just Take Ownership of everything in C.

    Google for that .reg file that adds a Take Ownership option in your right click menu. Make sure you are an admin. Right click each and every folder and take ownership.

    ** I couldn’t find out which folder the GoogleVoiceAndVideoSetup.exe thing uses, if you guys find out then just takeown that folder alone. **

    2. Open Elevated Command Prompt.
    Goto C:\
    Type “icacls * /t /q /c /reset”

    This resets all the ACLs and removes the problems with permissions and ownerships. ( or messes them up even more, but it Fixes the 1619 error!! )

    ** If you guys know which folder GoogleVoiceAndVideoSetup.exe uses for it’s temp download, then reset that folder alone. **

    3. Install Google Video Chat Plugin.

    Done! Took me 3 hours of googling to fix this. What a waste of time in the name of better security :-|
