However, many businesses take a more cautious approach. On the plus side, it ensures users have the latest version of the browser: the Chrome 4 update was rolled out to everyone within a matter of weeks. If anyone has anymore suggestions please feel free to comment, for now I'm doing what we're not supposed to and capturing the vendor msi.Google Chrome’s automated update is a double-edged sword. I know capturing a vendor msi but in this case I feel it's the only way I'm going to be able to confidently install Google Chrome without it updating. As soon as I try it programmatically again it fails. So, I closed that process and tried once more and it was successful (manually). Possibly becuase the GoogleUpdate.exe is running at the time I tried to rename it. However, when I try to rename this programmatically i am getting an access denied on the folder. If this is renamed then Google Chrome can't run updates. The only way I have been able to get close so far is by renaming the Update folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update". This is the update I am struggling to disable. The issue I'm getting is that as soon as the package is installed the "executable" which is wrapped inside the msi and actually installs google chrome, calls the GoogleUpdate.exe which then runs an update if your version is out of date. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Google\Update: Dword: DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValueValue: 1.Dword: AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutesValue: 0.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update: Yes, I've tried the GPO settings to disable Auto update and also tried adding these registry keys to the transform. "suppress_first_run_default_browser_prompt": true, My Master Preferences file looks like this What else can i do to ensure Automatic updates do not occur? Has anyone seen this? Where with newer versions of Google Chrome the Master_Preferences file is ignored?
Even with this disabled and when I run Google Chrome for the first time it seems to have updated and as soon as it's updated to the latest version it seems my master_preferences file is ignored. I have had to add a Powershell script as a Custom Action to disable the Google Update Service which is installed and started by the installer. I am deploying Google Chrome for enterprise to my Server 2012 R2 VDI desktop and I want to ensure autoupdate is disabled.
