htaccess redirect without directory

I want to make a redirect (using .htaccess) to an external site that host where my app can be downloaded so I can give users a url to server.com/install but when I add

Redirect 301 / http://google.com/ to my install directory it redirects to http://google.com/install which is not what I want.

How can I accomplish this with htaccess?

Redirect automatically appends anything from the original URL to the new URL.

Give this a try:

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/ http://google.com [L,R=301]

One more attempt, I added the RewriteBase and wildcard to match all. But I think the problem was that there was no trailing / after google.com. Maybe someone else will answer if this doesn't work.

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://google.com/ [L,R=301]
