Chrome is a web browser from Google.

You can download the current stable version of Google Chrome as an MSI file from http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?msi=true.

GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi is only available if using Windows.

System wide Installation

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 (in Firefox, right-click on the hyperlink and select "copy download link"). 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.
