I have to ask… Why on earth does Google install Chrome where it does? On my system, it is installed in:C:\Documents and Settings\wmiller\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome and drops it’s own auto updater in a VERSIONED directory under that. WTH? Application Data is, not surprisingly, where a User’s application data is supposed to live – not an application itself – and an updater like that should be downloaded either into the same directory as the application or into the temp directory. Nice app sprawl, Google. Thanks.
