custom chrome version - RESOLVED

Hi!
I need portable chrome version 73.0.3683.103, because this is the only one I can run on a offline computer from my workplace.
How can I get it?

I tried just replacing the folder 75.0.3770.90 with 73.0.3683.103, but it doesn't work and it has a strange behaviour:
-running GoogleChromePortable/GoogleChromePortable-> nothing happens
-running GoogleChromePortable/helo -> it opens the official chrome installed on machine
-running GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin -> error "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxtrace.exe tool for more detail.
I have no logs.

Won't work

That won't work, as Google Chrome Portable is an online installer - it downloads the chrome installer when installing the application, and Google no longer have that file available.

What should work is to download the file you've linked to, as well as the chrome installer for that particular version found elsewhere, and place them side-by-side.

Following doing so, if the chrome installer is the correct one for that version, and named correctly (as can be seen in installer.ini inside the Google Chrome Portable .paf.exe file), the portable installer will use the file beside it rather than trying to download it fresh.

It kinda worked. It's strange

It kinda worked. It's strange because I now open the default chrome, not the portable one, but the extension was saved to the portable app and it also appears in the default chrome. Thanks!
