New In This Release

This release updates Google Chrome to the latest version and features an improved installer.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Google Chrome Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

I get many (All) languages here and manually delete them after every update, is this a bug in the installer or is it by design ?

this should be fixed in the next platform beta 6, right ?

An older version of the installer had a similar bug and I thought this was fixed in the latest version. Maybe its because its an online installer?

These are source files for the installer and this behavior is by design. If you do not wish to have source files at all (they are not required for Google Chrome Portable to function) you can just delete the Other\Source folder after any install or upgrade.

Signature automatically removed for being too awesome.
