Administrator DKT27 Posted June 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 30, 2010 When you click on the installer, nothing happens right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted June 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 30, 2010 The chrome installer "does things in the background" if you already have it installed and it will install silently.Have you waited for a while? Are any files being written to your computer from the installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted June 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 30, 2010 There's a known problem in Chrome. You press on the installer, it keeps on running in the background, does nothing. And Chrome guys do nothing to fix it. Even I'm facing it. In older versions, it was possible to solve it by disabling all the security applications while installing. But in recent versions I've no other way to install it or it's update without extracting files from the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted July 2, 2010 C'mon guys problem is still there help me to solve it :ph34r:Somehow v5.0.375.99 got installed without any problems. Opened Chrome and it was updated.As mentioned above, you can try disabling all the security softwares then try installing it. If it still doesn't work, then extract the exe with 7-Zip and run the exe inside the extracted part (this will install it for sure). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I keep Google Chrome updated on three PCs (Win 7 Ultimate x64, Win 7 Home Premium x64, XP SP3), but I don't have any troubles. This is what I do:Uninstall Google Chrome (but keep your profile information)Make sure GoogleUpdater.exe (or GoogleUpdate.exe) is removed from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome and all subfolders (I hate when Chrome forces a silent update on you)Get the full installer here at nsane.down and run it. (The Google installer will install the evil GoogleUpdater.exe again so we don't want that — well I don't anyway)I remember DKT27 talked about a Google Chrome installer problem when you tried to update Google Chrome, but it never appeared if you first uninstalled and then re-installed Google Chrome. Anyway, make sure to manually delete GoogleUpdater.exe/GoogleUpdate.exe because an uninstall will NOT remove this evil executable file. :evil: I update Google Chrome when I want to, not when Google wants to.

Night Owl Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wow, having to delete your Google folder is really drastic. That means that both your Application folder and User Data folder were completely deleted. Your install must have been really messed up.Great to hear that you finally got Google Chrome working again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
