Thanks for porting the Chrome browser!
I recently installed it but realized that its leaving behind following reg entries (could be more):
This is on Windows 7 SP1 x64, and the version of Chrome portable is latest till date i.e. "Version 72.0.3626.109 for Windows, Multilingual"
HKLM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\No Chrome Offer Until HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\No Toolbar Offer Until
HKCU:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\PreferenceMACs
Additional query:
I did not see it downloading/installing gupdate.exe and software_reporter_tool.exe. Any knowledge on if it will download the google updater? If it does, I will have to block it using the Administrative templates in group policies.

I found Chrome folder in AppData as well, anyone else seeing this and above?
Have i asked something wrong? or is this an expected behavior (of the chrome portable)?
We have noted this in our bug tracker, these will be fixed soon.
Looking forward to it.
This is fixed with today's releases of Stable 73.0.3683.86, Beta 74.0.3729.40, and Dev 75.0.3745.4
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
