--- Comment #2 from aerilius@googlemail.com 2011-09-30 20:53:35 CDT --- The installation via BITS works now fine and flawless in Wine 1.3.29 (although the plugin doesn't yet work properly). I'm not sure how the browser could be relevant (?).
If you have difficulties downloading the installer, you download it from the official website after changing your user-agent to windows (for example with the addon UserAgentSwitcher) or you search for other download sites. http://www.google.com/intl/de/earth/explore/products/plugin.html
