Hey guys, trying to install older version of Portable Chrome (version 32) so I do not have to constantly use 2 step authentication when I move from computer to computer, I know this functionality broke after version 32. Problem I have is that I cannot install any of the older versions, I get an error saying the downloaded copy is not valid. I went through the sourceforge website that has archives of all the older versions. Please help!
Link that has the old versions:

Wouldn't downloading an offline installer of that particular Chrome version and placing it in the same folder as the PortableApps installer do the trick? I am simply thinking back to when there were problems downloading Java Portable using the portable installer, so it was recommended to download the Java installer and place it in the same folder. Could someone confirm if this would work or not?
where would I get the offline installer of chrome 32? Also so I just put the exe in the portable apps folder?
The issue is that Google has removed the older versions from their download servers. If you can get the actual older installer, you can place it in the same directory as the portable installer and it'll use that.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I am sorry, so if I get the offline installer I place it inside the portable apps folder on my USB drive where chrome portable is already installed?
Sadly while looking into this further I have encountered difficulty finding older Chrome installers. I initially thought sites like FileHippo might have shown promise in my investigation, but with Chrome it directs straight to the official download page. I have also looked on sites like Old Version and unfortunately they do not provide version 32 at present. My advice would be to either remain patient or alternatively compromise with an earlier version of Chrome. In my personal opinion I wouldn't even think of going backwards when it comes to internet browsers unless we're talking about XP users and Internet Explorer. The updates are for a reason, for the most part to shore up any security problems.
