run cmd with administrative privileges!

If Google Earth is Not recognized in Mapsource or Basecamp the problem is Google

Earth/Google Earth Pro has not registered properly.
Solution:

First you need to check properties to show WHERE Google Earth is installed:

From the Command Prompt type the the following as applicable and press ENTER:

(Make sure you are in the C:\ root directory)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Earth Pro\client\googleearth.exe" /RegServer (works with Google Earth Pro in Win 7...10)

"C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth Pro\client\googleearth.exe" /RegServer (Google Earth Pro in XP)

"C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\client\googleearth.exe" /RegServer (Google Earth in XP)

It does.

I can now run BaseCamp's View in GE feature without having to open GE/GEP first.

Nice catch, thanks.

It is not necessary to be in the C: root directory. When you use any of the versions listed in your post you are using the fully qualified path so, as long as you don't make a typo, Windows will find and execute it properly no matter where you are when you enter it. If you make a typo, nothing will help. :)

You missed one for Google Earth non-Pro on Win 7, 8.x and 10.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Earth\client\googleearth.exe" /RegServer

It should be noted for those not used to using the command line in Windows, the double quotes in all of the examples are critical. They MUST be there and in the indicated places or you'll get an error that the directory name is invalid. It won't harm anything; it simply won't work.

Works perfectly for me on Windows 10.

Thank you very much for sharing!

Fixes problem onWindows 7 Pro 64bit with Google Earth Pro Version

Thanks for the tip..

Just ran the ...."C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Earth Pro\client\googleearth.exe" /RegServer on my Windows Seven Pro 64bit machine.. and it works!

BaseCamp now sees Google Earth Pro.....

GE Pro

Awesome catch! In my case, GE Pro resided in a different folder, so the command line for me (Win 7 Pro and GE Pro) was:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Earth Pro\googleearth.exe" /RegServer

I also had to start the Command Prompt window using Run As: Administrator.
Worked perfectly!

Thank you for this. Worked perfectly on Win 10 and Win8.1 machines.
