Per-user Installation: Removed this section as WPKG isn't for installing per-user, & it had a lot of info about installing system wide despite this being a per-user section, & it seemed out-of-date
</source>
 
== Per-user Installation ==
 
This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Google Chrome. This will install Google Chrome '''only for the user running WPKG'''.
 
Normally, Google Chrome installs per-user. To install it system-wide into the %PROGRAMFILES% directory, use the chrome_installer.exe installer and the --system-level option. Note that the regular Chrome standalone installer (ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe) does not seem to accept any command-line switches and can't be made to install silently.
 
Interesting side note: even though you can't make ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe install silently, you can get a version of it that will install system-wide. To get this, download the regular version of ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe. Make a note of the URL of the file. This URL will include the string 'needadmin%3Dfalse'. Replace 'needadmin%3Dfalse' with 'needadmin%3Dtrue' and download again from this modified URL. This will give you an installer for system-wide installation.
