Can't dl Google Earth 7.0.1

[datawalla]

I've been trying to download the update to Google Earth released today (11/1), version 7.0.1, but it's completely frozen my phone and forced me to reboot four times! Every time it finishes the download and starts the installation and a minute or so into it, it freezes. Anyone else have this experience? Any idea what might be going on? I have Avast! Mobile Security installed. Could this be interfering? This is very annoying...

Finally got it to work. I had to leave the update screen and open another app while it installed the update in the background and it was successful. This isn't the first time I've had this happen (which is why I knew to try it), but it is the first time an update actually froze the phone every time I tried it the normal way. In the past the update might just fail. I'd still like to hear any ideas about what could be causing this (any why installing the update in the background would make a difference).
