Ahh, I was trying to get GCP on "the road to 2.0"! Thanks!
Yay
Yay
Thank you so much. 
I've been waiting for this release.
And BTW, the new installer looks awesome!

the 6.0.* series is a development series, where Google sometimes releases several revisions a day. it would be impossible to keep the development branch up to schedule, as by the time a portable release is completed, they could have another release from google.
Always Old
As Zach says, this version will always be old. That's why we just call it a 6.0 Dev. If I update it today, it'll be outdated tomorrow and we don't chase moving targets like that. This is just an occasional thing (usually in conjunction with a stable release) where we put a new one up.
Dang
Error with installing Extensions & Themes
Error:"Could not create directory for unzipping: Z:\portableapps\GoogleChromePortableDev\Data\profile\Temp\scoped_dir_18098\CRX_INSTALL"
PreReqs: I am using a work PC with no admin rights and no access to local hard drive. Instead the drive that I use is a networked drive.
6.0.408.1
Anybody got a clue on how to fix this?
Unable to download Google Chrome (5.0.375.55 Stable)
Got this error:
"The installer was unable to download Google Chrome (5.0.375.55 Stable). The installation of the portable app will be incomplete without it. (ERROR: SendRequest Error)"
... while installing it. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.
Blocked
That means you're blocked by either your local network (usually an office) or Google (usually specific countries). Try again. Or try again on another network.
Where is the master password?
Why don't they add a master password?
I don't use that thing without a master password.
Wouldn't Chromium suite better?
Why Chrome instead of Chromium? It's an open-source app. 100% free. 100% legal stuff free. etc etc. We could redistribute Chromium as a standard PortableApps installer instead of having to download Chrome straight from Google site.
Any opinion?
As Stated
As stated the previous times it has come up, Chromium doesn't have any stable releases. Not even alpha or beta quality. It is used solely as a platform for building Chrome. And Chromium is completely unsupported.
