This thread originally asks how to install Google Talk on Windows 7, but the most important context is that Google Talk is a retired product — installing the old GTalk client today will often fail because Google removed or replaced the server-side support that client relied on. The Windows desktop client was deprecated years ago and Google later wound down Talk/third‑party XMPP access, so authentication/connectivity errors are expected even when the installer appears to run. (workspaceupdates.googleblog.com)

If the goal is simply “chat with my Google contacts” or preserve old conversations, use Google Chat (web or in Gmail) as the supported replacement and export any legacy conversation history via Google Takeout before it’s unavailable. That is the official migration path Google recommends for Talk/Hangouts users. ()

For people who really need a desktop client: third‑party projects (for example a libpurple/pidgin plugin named purple‑googlechat) try to provide a Google Chat interface, but these are unofficial, require OAuth/cookie workarounds, and can break whenever Google changes authentication. Running modern auth workarounds on an out‑of‑support OS (Windows 7 reached end of support on January 14, 2020) adds extra compatibility and security problems. Upgrading the OS or using a current browser to access Chat is the safer option. (github.com)

Summary tied to the thread: ’s “not connected” symptom is most likely a service/authentication change rather than a local installer bug. Advice earlier in the thread about local tweaks made sense in 2011–2015, but today the correct course is to migrate to Google Chat or export history with Takeout; only pursue unofficial desktop plugins with the expectation they may be fragile.

There are many reasons for this problem. It could be due to your antivirus software blocking Gtalk. Unblock it from the software and then see if that works. It could also be due to some problem with the your setup, may be it is not for Windows 7, that is you have installed the version which is not compatible with Windows 7. In either of the case, run Gtalk in compatibility mode.

Even i got the same problem some months back.

It is due to your internet connection settings in gtalk.

Click settings in gtalk and check connection option.
Make sure that Detect proxy automatically is checked
