Google Chrome Links - Alternative Suggestion

[orbiton]

Hi everyone,

As of this date , there are issues with the Google Chrome link which is provided on the external content site - it is a static link which direct us to the latest version of Google Chrome.

I’ve looked upon Google Chrome Update - Create Log File section and managed to be able to retrieve:

• Specific Version Google Chrome Installer (EXE) not MSI

• Install Command which allow for system-wide (machine-level) installation

• SHA1,SHA256,size,name

Is there any reason to use the MSI version and not the EXE version?
I was able to upgrade older MSI version with a newer EXE version.

@JasonWalker do you have any input about using the EXE versus MSI options?
