Google Chrome setup

For a product such as Chrome that is built with security designed in, I find that their setup program is anti-secure. They required me to disable Software Restriction Policy. And required me to set Windows Firewall Outbound policy to Allow. Otherwise, the setup program will give error codes.

I have tried giving SRP 2 path rules, one to allow the folder containing the setup.exe, and second to allow execution from appdata\local\temp. The setup program ran a little bit and then stopped. So I had to turn off SRP.

Then it wants internet access. So I made an outbound rule allowing the setup.exe. But no, the access request was not comming from there, probably some exe in temp. So I had to set Outbound to Allow.

After the setup is complete, the program resides in \users\<yourAcc>\Appdata\Local\Google. I don't know why it is designed to operate from there instead of \Program Files\. Then it asks for the admin password to do god knows what, and I canceled that.

 

Worked fine with SRP for me. What's your OS? What version are you trying to install? Do the old ones work?

 

Its on Windows 7. I managed to install 12.0.742.91.

 

Download the "Google Chrome Standalone Enterprise .MSI". It installs to program files.
