How can I silently install Google Chrome?

Question

I want to make a silent installation of Google Chrome Beta. I've tried ChromeSetup.exe downloader with /s or /-ms but nothing had worked.

Then I've downloaded the standalone installation version, and tried the same, but got the same result – the silent installation doesn't work.

Basically what I need is to avoid the post installation dialog ("Choose a search engine"). Is there a way to silently choose Google?

Answer 1

Installing with the MSI file with the q flag will give you a silent install.

Answer 2

For a setup file which has .msi extension:

msiexec /q /i GoogleChromeStandoloneEnterprise.msi
