Adrian,
Have you checked in Task Manager, to see if there are any Chrome.exe or
Chrome anything running? and then End Process?
It's also possible that the problem has nothing at all to do with Google
Chrome, which is just a manifestation of it. Have you had difficulty
uninstalling any other programs? (I'm thinking of this Windows XP error
message you got.)

Update. Although I have Windows 7, Chrome is saying:
This computer will no longer receive Chrome updates because Windows XP and
Windows Vista are no longer supported
Apparently, not only won't it receive updates; it won't even install. So,
now the question is how to persuade Google that my system is Windows 7? I'm
getting nowhere with this query on Google.

Mike,
As always, a thoughtful post. I uninstalled the current version of Revo and
downloaded 1.9 from your Dropbox link. As you say, with first-letter
navigation, the programs list is navigable. Unfortunately, Revo doesn't find
either Chrome or Google. I thought of tricking it by reinstalling Chrome,
but that's the point right now: I can't!
Now that I've followed your instructions, I'll feel comfortable using Revo
in the future. But now, I have to ask the list again: Any ideas? Meanwhile,
back to Google search. At least I can't uninstall it.

Hi Adrian,
Below is a Dropbox link for the last accessible version of Revo, & some
steps are below that. Read the steps first, & if you run into problems you
can call me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3t4xb1oeu2kwih/Revo%20setup%20Version%201.95.zip?dl=1
It probably isn't the most intuitive program ever made, but in a normal
situation it's like a wizzard process.
1. find the program you want to uninstall in a list of programs that first
comes up when you start the program. You need to use first letter
navigation to do this or, use your arrow keys because I haven't found a way
to put all the programs into list view.
2. With the program highlighted that you want to remove, open the context
menu and press enter on uninstall. You will get a dialogue asking if you're
sure you want to remove this program, tab to the yes option & press the
spacebar.
3. Now it's time to choose the level at which revo uninstaller does its
job. So, Shift + tab, into the options list. you have 4 modes Built-in,
Safe, Moderate, & Advanced. I always choose advanced because some programs
love to leave registry entries and little traces of themselves everywhere.
These are radio buttons, so just choose the appropriate one.
4. Hit the next button and Revo will go to work and uninstall your program,
so sit back for a minute or two.
5. This is when the fun really starts. After you hit the next button, Revo
will display a number of left over files and registry entries from
the program. hit the tab key and you should find a select all
button, and a delete button. so first hit select all, followed by delete.
You'll get a warning asking if you really want to do this?
Answer yes. It'll then delete any files left over. Now depending on how
the program is, it may next ask you to delete registry entries, this is the
same as left over files. Don't worry, this is safe to do because it only
deletes the registry entries that are for the application you're
uninstalling, it won't delete anything else but that. So do the select all
and delete thing again and answer yes. Sometimes, you might even see a
screen that just has a tree view, but it has nothing displayed. In that case
just do what you would normally do and hit select all and delete and that'll
do it. After all that is done revo will display a dialogue with a finish
button.
Hit that, and you're done. you can then delete another program or close the
program it's up to you. Sometimes you need to use the, Insert + F10,
keystroke to open the Jaws task list & find the Revo remove option & press
enter because you'll have landed on a blank window so you need to bring Revo
back into focus.
I hope this helps explain things a bit better.
Take care.
Mike

Okay, now I've installed version 2.03 of Revo. It looks completely
inaccessible. Using the PC cursor, the window says nothing but for a graphic
window. The JAWS cursor reads a lot more, but I don't seem able to activate
any controls. For example, I pressed insert-PC cursor on "Hunter," but the
result, whether with the PC or JAWS cursor, was just a graphic.

Thanks, Flor. Yes, I checked add'/remove. I then went to task manager and
stopped all Chrome and google-related running programs from running. Now I
don't get the ongoing download message. Instead, after I authorize the
system to run the Chrome installation file, nothing happens, except that
the Google programs show up again in the task manager.
Justin, although others on this list recommend Revo Uninstaller, I'm nervous
about running a program that might do more than I want. If you or anyone
else can give me some reassurance, I'd be happy to try it.

Hi Adrian,
It sounds like some remainder of Google Chrome or Google Toolbar is till on
your computer? Have you search your Control Panel Add / Remove?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Google Chrome, can't install
The current thread about browsers has renewed my interest in using Chrome as
more than an occasional backup. However, my copy of Chrome had problems that
I couldn't fix. For example, it always opened with the "open file" dialog. I
couldn't get Settings to give me any options, such as setting my homepage.
So I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling. Now here's my
problem. I keep getting the following message:
Installation failed. Another installation of a Google application is in
progress.
After first getting this message, I ran CCleaner and then rebooted. I tried
again to install Chrome, only to get the same message.
Note: I did not run CCleaner's registry option and don't want to mess in any
way with the registry.
Any ideas?
