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
