It should be noted that Chrome MSI is not real MSI, but a wrapper around the executable, i.e. Instead of deploying files, registry settings etc., it simply unpacks and launches the usual setup.exe. Google is not the first one to do it. For instance, Adobe Flash and Reader are the same fakes.
While this method does allow to deploy by group policy, it's missing practically all the advantages of Windows Installer (see ), and in many cases the administrator will have to repackage it into true MSI installation prior to deployment. In order to simply launch setup.exe by group policy, you don't even need this fake MSI. There's little known feature, so called ZAP file ( ) - basically an inf file that can be specified in the group policy, same as MSI, and it will launch your executable with parameters.
NdotGdot 10:55. None of the 'answers' anywhere were working for me to get a standalone file to install chrome. All the answers I found were routed back to the same place to download the software. So I went to the Chrome beta site: I was able to get the standalone file I was looking for. Just save it off instead of running it and you get a googleupdater.exe file.
Unfortunately you do have to be logged into the computer with administrator rights, but I think I can achieve this through Global Policy. Anyway, maybe this will work for some of you. Natdege natdege 11:43.

@jaspotn Actually, i have test it to update chrome old version to the newest version, and the chrome said that you cannot install the newest one cause you have the chrome install on that computer. Im not sure the reason why chrome cannot update automatically with the msi installation.
I just know that google provide the automatically update direct from the client. I try to create vbs script to install the newest version with uninstall and then install the new one, it works.

It used the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond uses the WebKit forkBlink. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008. As of October 2015, StatCounter estimates that Google Chrome has a 56% worldwide usage share of web browsers as a desktop browser. It is also the most popular browser for smartphones, and combined across all platforms at about 45%. Its success has led to Google expanding the ‘Chrome’ brand name on various other products such as the Chromecast.

I recently found myself with the need to push Google Chrome out across all machines in a WDS (Windows Deployment Services) group using MDT (Microsoft Deployment Tools) Deployment Workbench Task Sequences. I needed to do a silent, unattended install of Google Chrome from an offline installer. I still want it to auto-update. This turns out to be badly documented and the method appears to have changed repeatedly, but once you find the right resources it works well. Downloading the standard Chrome offline installer and trying the usual command line help options wasn't much use.
Instead of reporting a usage page, it responds to unrecognised command line options with 'Google Update installation failed with error 0x80040c01'. There's lots of info on the 'net, but it appears that the Chrome installer has gone through several iterations, so much of the advice is wrong. /install triggers a non-interactive install with a GUI. Except that it still launches the interactive installer for Adobe Flash Player if it isn't already installed.
It's actually easy to deploy Chrome centrally, but you wouldn't think so from searching the Google Chrome help pages and site. The key thing you need is the page on Chrome for Business. This finally explains that there's an MSI installer. Now you have a nice sensible MSI named GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi.
You can invoke installation with msiexec /i 'GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi' /qn /quiet /norestart like any other MSI. As an MSI, it can also be deployed over Active Directory using Group Policy. It's a bizarre that Google make this so hard to find. By the way, if you're doing WDS deployments, you owe it to yourself to use MDT thin installs. MDT will merge drivers into PE images for you, create installation scripts, and largely 'just works'. It can do things like, doing all that tedious rebooting and updating for you completely unattended. Since Microsoft has no plans to release a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, that's going to become rather important as the update load continues to grow.
Until Microsoft backflip and release SP2 anyway, of course; we've heard all this before with XP and SP3. Use MDT 2012.
