Hey,

Is there a way to install Google Chrome silently without the setup downloading its binaries first?


Thanks in advance.

Not that you need to download from rapidshare from that link, but you can do the same to get the setup file from temp folder.

What is the "temp download folder" of Chrome? I have searched for that, but i dont think i succeeded.
Thought it was:
C:\Documents and Settings\Raoul\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application
But im not sure.

See:

edit:
Found it:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\Download
The chrome_installer.exe is silent from itself and is 8,36MB

When you doubleclick chrome_installer.exe it will install silently/automaticly without any screens.

hi thanks for the reply
it installs ok but a opition window comes up the google chrome loads

[Raoul90]

Hmm at a new installation you get a screen, an autoit script will work probably.

cheers i take a look with autoit
its not a real problem just not quite right not like firefox
im quite impressed with chrome
faster than firefox not as cusomazble
only problem ive had is if you search a long say 3page post and you are looking for some text you press clt v as useuale type your word but when you get to the next page you have to do it again

I used TaskKills to solve that
I created a SFX file with winrar and added the following "comment" to it

Setup=setup.exe
Setup=TaskKillS chrome.exe
TempMode
Overwrite=1

I´m still trying to figure out how to get rid of the "first run" popup menú. I used regshot to get a picture of the system changes that the first run made and copied every file and modified the registry manually and still nothing

I hope it was somehow helpful and that someone may have the answer to my problem thnx

Put an empty file called

First Run

here:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application

Also you can add Bookmarks and others to have a customized installation.

[Raoul90]

For Win7:
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application"
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"

From the second one you can backup your stuff, (Cookies, passwords, etc), passwords are in the Web Data file
