Well, I've reported here and to Chromium's issue tracker about "error
1" problem after downloading Google Chrome.
I've found another way to install Chrome in that situation. (This is
not recommended for unexperienced users because it may cause problems
on updates and uninstallation. I haven't tested thoughtfully yet.)
The directories listed here are applicable in Windows Vista.
1. Run ChromeSetup.exe
2. Open C:\Users\<USERID>\AppData\Local\Google\Update\Download
\{7FA2199A-FCB7-48AC-B5DA-83B145DE5D00} (The last hex-codes may be
different. It changes on every downloads...)
3. Open chrome_installer.exe with 7-zip client and extract chrome.7z
from it.
4. Extract chrome.7z again. Then you get a folder called chrome-bin.
At this point, chrome.exe won't start even if you launch directly
here.
5. Copy all contents to C:\Users\<USERID>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
\Application
If there's no such folders, create it.
6. Move all contents (dlls and others) in C:\Users\<USERID>\AppData
\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\0.2.149.29 to C:\Users\<USERID>
\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\.
7. Run chrome.exe, then you might see the "first run" process.
Here, I failed to import existing bookmarks and settings because it
just became frozen after I clicked "next". But it created "First Run"
file and I could use Google Chrome finally.
This is kind of a manual installation. I'm not sure what the installer
writes on the registry during the original process.
In the about box of this chrome installation, it says "can't find the
update server (error 3)" (in Korean "업데이트 서버를 찾을 수 없습니다(오류 3)"). :P
But anyway I can try it now. ;)

I found that one can enable official update services on the about
window by copying the registry from other successfully installed
machines. (I've already had an officially-installed version in my
virtual machine with WinXP SP3. The registry entries are same on both
Vista and XP.)
I hope thie would help you. :)

I found the problem easily fixed when I ran the chrome_installer.exe
as an administrator :) I kept getting the ever so annoying error
message so as a last ditch effort decided to see what would happen if
I right clicked and ran as administrator. IT WORKED! I have WIndows
Vista Home Premium. Hope this helps
