Nelson,
I had no problem with installing Google Earth 5.0.
After you install it, it will be in your Applications folder. I also
dragged its icon to my dock. I click on the Google Earth icon in the
Dock (or double click on it in the Applications folder) and it opens
in Google Earth. It does not open in Safari.
I know there are some (or one) plugin that you need to link Google
Earth to your Web site. Maybe that's what popped up; it does come up
in Safari. I think I just closed Safari and when back sailing the open
seas in Google Earth. Does it keep popping up?
The only strange thing I ran into was when I clicked on one of the
National Geographic items, it linked to a private You Tube site and
you had to be one of the "owners" friends to view the video. Weird. I
did not view it.

I installed the new Google v.5, which resulted in:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page "Google Earth" has content of MIME type
"application/geplugin". Because you don't have a
plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content
can't be displayed.
How did Safari get involved?
Anyway, I Googled for the text in bold above + "Mac".
"Did you mean geoplugin?"
No, I did not.
Please point me in the right direction.
