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.

Watch the Google Chrome Releases blog for info about new versions.

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.

Google Chrome 16

Chrome shows an odd product version in Uninstall Programs (64.228.63 for this version), so the package definition checks only that it is present and then checks the actual version against chrome.exe.

Chrome can be updated while it's running, but the changes won't happen until the running process is closed.
