Note for Remote Desktop Services
Windows Server 2008 R2 has a new feature called Windows Installer RDS Compatibility. This feature is enabled by default when using Remote Desktop Services and will cause some MSI installers to hang. When run through WPKG the install process will appear to never finish. When run with the same parameters from a command-line you'll see a Windows Installer dialog that asks you to wait and a progress bar that repeatedly completes and restarts. To successfully install Chrome on an RDS server you need to [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560667%28WS.10%29.aspx#BKMK_3|create a registry key to disable this feature]: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\TSAppSrv\TSMSI, add a DWORD called Enable set to zero. The keys TSAppSrv and TSMSI probably won't exist and need to be created.
 
*update* If you don't feel safe messing with the registry then you can also change
Start>control panel> search for install application on remote desktop. Browse to the msi file listed above.
 
Start>run>MMC.exe addin> Group Policy ObjectEditor \Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Application Compatibility – Turn off Windows Installer RDS Compatibility
