Interesting side note: even though you can't make ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe to install silently, you can get a version of it that will install systemwide. To get this, first download the regular version of the ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe . Make a note of the actual URL the file was downloaded from (in Firefox, right-click on the downloaded file and select "copy download link"). This link will include the string "needadmin%3Dfalse".

System wide Installation
Normally, Google Chrome installs per-user. To install it system-level into the %PROGRAMFILES% directory, use the chrome_installer.exe installer and the --system-level option. Please 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.
