If in Step 1 for any reason you can't download advanced setup file (which is full Google Earth .exe):
Download standard "Google Updater".
When "Google Updater" runs it downloads Google Earth .exe file to "C:\Program Files\Google\Update\Download". Be aware that Google Updater may start installation automatically without any warnings.
