Google Chrome: Installer Does Not Open?

Got any setup issues? If Google Chrome installer does not work for you (nothing happens, when opening it), there might be nothing wrong with it.

In fact, if you already have Chrome installed and trying to upgrade it, installation might run silently.

After you have “launched” setup, just open “About Google Chrome” and see version number. It’s highly possible, that you are already running your preferred release.

Google Chrome 5 Already Here

Apparently, Google has already released a beta version of Google Chrome 5.0.307.1 web browser. Don’t get excited yet, as changes are minimal and there are no drastic new features and/or improvements.

Changelog
Use default downloads directory on Vista and Windows 7 (except where it is the desktop)
Start work on Content Settings window and sub-dialogs.

Download.

With release cycles like these, we should see Google Chrome 7 by the end of this year.
