What is the difference between Google Chrome and Google Chrome Enterprise?

Google Chrome Enterprise installs for use for any user on the machine it’s installed on. This is ideal for ensuring all potential users have the latest version of Google Chrome whereas the non-Enterprise Google Chrome will only install per user. This could leave you with differing versions of Google Chrome over time if not managed.

How to Silent Install Google Chrome Enterprise (32-bit) (MSI)

    1. Download the MSI 32-bit file from:
      https://chromeenterprise.google/browser/download/
    2. Download the file to a folder like (C:\Install_Test)
    3. Open a CMD by Right-Clicking on CMD and select Run as Administrator
    4. Navigate to the C:\Install_Test folder
    5. Enter the following command:
      MsiExec.exe /i googlechromestandaloneenterprise.msi /qn
    6. Press Enter

You should see the Google Chrome Desktop Shortcut appear. You will also find entries in the Start Menu, Installation Directory, and Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

 

How to Silent Install Google Chrome Enterprise (64-bit) (MSI)

Copy the following command lines in the new file named “chrome-manual-updates.reg”:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update]
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update]
"DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update]

Step 5 – Execute the silent installation.

The folder looks like :

Google chrome silent install

Google chrome silent install

Just right-click on install.cmd and run as administrator. After a few seconds, the install will be finished.  So this is the complete package ready to be deployed over the network.

32-bit or 64-bit?

Yes, there is a 64-bit Google Chrome. However, the majority of installs are of the 32-bit (even for 64-bit machines.) If you would like the 64-bit keep in mind that you will also need to make sure that your Java is also 64-bit as well.

About Google Chrome.

Google Chrome is a freeware web browser developed by Google. 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 fork link. 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.
