Added information on how to do a system-level install
This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Google Chrome. This will install Google Chrome '''only for the user running wpkg'''.
 
At least in later versions of Chrome, chrome_installer.exe also accepts a command line switch --system-level that will install Chrome into %PROGRAMFILES% for all users. In this case, the correct uninstall string to be used in the <remove> tag is "%PROGRAMFILES%\Google\Chrome\Application\5.0.375.55\Installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --system-level
<source lang="xml">
</source>
The offline installer be downloaded from here: http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/375.55/chrome_installer.exe Google Chrome has another standalone installer that apparently cannot be made to install silently. This installer is called ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe . You can download it http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?standalone=1 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". Replace this string with "needadmin%3Dtrue" and download again from this modified URL. This will give you an installer for systemwide installation.
