[informational][Chrome][Windows][validation agent] How to install Chrome per user on Windows

Motivation

  • With the new ChromeSetup.exe installer, it is no longer possible to install Chrome browser per user by denying the privileged access on UAC dialog and proceeding to installation per user without the admin privilege as the old ChromeSetup.exe.

Solution

ChromeSetup.exe --install

Notes

  • The new ChromeSetup.exe has the value UpdaterSetup.exe as the "Original filename" property, which can be shown via Right Click -> Properties -> Details -> Original filename.
  • The updater task of per-user Chrome browser can be retrieved without the admin privileges so that the installed files can be safely copied without interference by the updater task.
