Google Chrome is really nice, but it does a quite dirty installation… It write several registry entries, does not give you the option to select where you want to install, forces the bookmark importation from the current default browser, etc.
Yes, it is possible to run this brilliant browser in any folder you desire. No configuration is needed, but also a single language is enabled (American Engligh).
How to install this portable version:
- Download and uncompress the GoogleChromePortable.zip in any folder you want.
- Execute the RUN.BAT file (on the windows explorer, open the GoogleChromePortable folder and double-click on it)
That’s all.
Enjoy it

Hey! Nice job tracking down the registry keys. Based on your experience with Google apps, I was wondering if you knew why the chrome.exe is so sensitive to compression or alteration of the code segment?
I’ve create a Google Chrome Portable exe which can be found at my site (http://plasmid.co.uk/2008/09/03/portable-google-chrome-beta/) but I’m not sure why when I try to Thinstall it I get errors after the load up. All I can say is the symptoms appear to be related to a malformed code section after compression.
Any ideas?
