Note that these Google Chrome offline or online installers will set Chrome as the default browser during the install and generate desktop and task bar shortcuts. The default browser does not get set to Chrome if the install is done remotely via the system account. Don't get /silent /install the wrong way round because it will leave the install in a VERY broken state.

The ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe can be used with /silent /install and installs the Chrome version contained within the exe. The update services will update Chrome in the background to the latest version.
Online installer
This Chrome_Installer.exe stub installer downloads and installs the latest version of Chrome. /silent /install is supported.
Download the 'Chrome_Installer.exe' fromhttp://dl.google.com/chrome/install/<Version Number>/chrome_installer.exe where version number for '12.0.742.100' would be '742.100'
The Google update services appear to handle application updates automatically in the background so that no user intervention is required to do updates. If an older version of Chrome is launched and "About Google Chrome" is clicked, an update can only achieved by entering admin credentials.
