#ALTERNATE TO DEFAULT FOLDER X FOR PC INSTALL#

Only when I killed the so well named Google Crash Handler, the whole nasty process eventually went awayвЂ¦ I was then unable to close it: kept saying that the program was not responding and my Vista kept suggesting to kill the process but was unable to do so.

Well, well, thought it didnвЂ™t find or was unable to use my profile (it even added about 25 MB to my User Data вЂ“ crap I guess). In between, it completely froze my PC! After about a quarter of an hour, Chrome eventually did start and displayedвЂ¦ my default page. Note that I am the sole user, ergo full administrator of my PCвЂ™s. Installation took for ever, then, Chrome tried to start and twice, after agonizing long minutes, complained it could not find my profile. Again, no choice for my preferred folder (the one housing my browsers вЂ“ except IE, of course вЂ“ and everything around them), but worse, as I later found out: back toвЂ¦ AppData it went. It was (did back it up, just to be sure though). Before installing I checked whether вЂњUser DataвЂќ was still there. Here Google calls it just Standalone as opposed to Standalone Enterprise.

As from the early eighties, I always tried to keep my Roots (and, later, Program Files also) as clean as possible, well knowing that MS is the worst culprit here (when they do give you a choice, as for Office XP, there definitely will be some features not working correctly!) Others like Java will install where you want it, but then the likes of OOo or Libre Office will often complain they needвЂ¦ Java to be installed! I just hate those programs that go where they choose! So I uninstalled this Chrome and tried RaymondвЂ™s link instead. Only the installation lasted for ever, as compared to the вЂњnormalвЂќ Chrome install.

That one did install Chrome under Program Files, alright and did start up correctly. For those interested, the so called вЂњEnterpriseвЂќ MSI can be found at /intl/en/chrome/business/browser/.
