Windows 10: How to Move Google Chrome to Specific Location ???

It may be worth looking at a portable version of Chrome. You should be able to stick that anywhere. https://portableapps.com/apps/intern...hrome_portable

 

Howdy, cyberrufus:

Truth is I've been successfully using Chrome of Win 7 which has provided custom localized installation
WITHOUT issues.

This appears to be a Win 10 HOME issue.

This may be related to whether you install for everyone or a single user. If you do it for a single user it installs in your user profile.

 

I believe when Google Pack was still alive a custom installation was possible. My experience with the standalone installer is somewhat limited but it's never presented that option (believe it also installs in Program Files instead of the user profile) .

 

Howdy, kado897 & cyberrufus:

CORRECT... I the notebook is set-up as a SINGLE USER...
however my Win 7 notebook is also without this issue.

Is there a SOLUTION?

It's some time since I did a new install so this may well have changed.

 

10-4. Understood.

Hoping for a resolution today.

I don't use Chrome, but I have just downloaded the Enterprise standalone installer...
Chrome Browser for Enterprise | Download & Support
...and installed Chrome on my test machine (1709, Windows 10 Pro).
I can confirm that...

a) even the Enterprise installer offers no choice of where to install.
b) Chrome was installed for 'All Users'.

As others have said, providing the ability to choose the install location is up to the installer, not Windows. Using the Portable Apps version seems the only viable option if you don't want Chrome installed on the C: drive.
