I tried to install the Google Cloud SDK for Windows using this documentation: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/quickstart

It fails during the installation on Windows 10 Pro. Here is what the log says:

Files was unexpected at this time.

Failed to install.

I have tried installing using the installer and also installing using Powershell. I have also tried installing Python 3.8 first and then unchecking the Bundled Python option. Nothing works, it is all the same error above.

  • Smells similar to this ... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34631826/maven-files-was-unexpected-at-this-time ... see if any of your environment variables have quotes in their values. – Kolban Dec 19 '19 at 19:31
  • Good idea. I do not have any environment variables with quotes in them. – Greg Finzer Dec 19 '19 at 19:51
  • how are you installing? are you following the [quickstart](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-windows) – Soni Sol Dec 20 '19 at 02:34
  • I am following the instructions provided by Google in the original question. The quickstart link provided does not help either. – Greg Finzer Dec 20 '19 at 14:14

This is a known issue that is being tracked here

As a workaround you can do the following:

1) Uninstalled python37 and windows python launcher.

2) Re-installed python37 and re-added to the environment Path variable (This re-instated my missing python.exe file also; the py.exe file is also in it's Windows location for python launcher)

3) Deleted all previous SDK folders/files. (There was one still hanging out there from my previous copy)

4) Re-downloaded SDK and UNCHECKED the python bundle checkbox. It gave me a warning message that python was not installed, but after it completed, everything works as expected.

  • Uninstall python and google cloud sdk.

  • Download and install stable version of python at other location like D:/python.exe

  • Set environment variable

  • Re-install Google cloud sdk.
