Update !! How to Silently Install Google Chrome Using MSI on Windows 10 and 11

BNews.id - In this digital age, web browsing has become an essential part of our daily lives, and Google Chrome has emerged as one of the most popular web browsers. When it comes to deploying software in a corporate or large-scale environment, silent installation becomes crucial to minimize disruption. In this article, we will guide you on how to silently install Google Chrome using the MSI installer on Windows 10 and 11, providing a seamless installation experience for your users.

Step 1: Downloading the MSI Installer

To begin, you need to download the Google Chrome MSI installer from the official Google website. Visit the Chrome Enterprise website and locate the "Chrome Browser" section. Choose the appropriate version of the MSI installer for your Windows operating system (Windows 10 or 11) and download it to your local machine.

Step 2: Preparing the Installation Command

Once you have the MSI installer file, you need to prepare the installation command. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell with administrator privileges. Navigate to the directory where you saved the MSI installer file and run the following command:

msiexec /i "chrome_installer.msi" /q

The "/i" flag indicates the installation command, and the "/q" flag ensures a silent installation without any user interface prompts.

Step 3: Customizing the Installation:

By default, the silent installation installs Google Chrome with the standard settings. However, you can customize the installation by adding additional command-line options. For example, to disable the creation of desktop shortcuts during installation, use the following command:

msiexec /i "chrome_installer.msi" /q NO_SHORTCUTS=1

You can find a comprehensive list of available command-line options in the Chrome Enterprise documentation.

Step 4: Deploying Google Chrome

Now that you have the silent installation command ready, you can deploy Google Chrome to multiple machines using various methods such as Group Policy, SCCM, or a third-party deployment tool. Consult your organization's IT department or refer to the appropriate documentation for your chosen deployment method.

Silently installing Google Chrome using the MSI installer on Windows 10 and 11 can streamline the deployment process, especially in large-scale environments. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can ensure a seamless installation experience for your users while reducing disruptions. Remember to customize the installation command based on your specific requirements and utilize appropriate deployment methods to effectively distribute Google Chrome throughout your organization.

This article assumes a basic understanding of Windows operating systems and command-line interfaces. It is always recommended to test the installation process in a controlled environment before deploying it widely.
