Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 7296 by [email protected]: Google offline installation page is extremely misleading! http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7296
The page for an offline installation of Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/support/installer/bin/answer.py?answer=126299 It says - The version of Google Chrome available from the link below may not auto-update to future browser releases, meaning you could miss important security fixes and feature improvements. If you install Google Chrome using the link below, bookmark this page and check back periodically to manually download newer releases. Issue 1301 Comment from kuchall@ - If you read the original request, it was about an offline installer. The update problem is because installer fails to download new updates due to proxy configurations. User will have to periodically download and install Google Chrome. The proxy limitation of regular installer is already on file in other bugs. There is no ETA for when it will get fixed. Issue 1301 Comment from dhhwai - So what you're saying is that the possible inability to update is due to the proxy configurations and not the installer. So that's great. But that also makes answer=126299 extremely misleading: "The version of Google Chrome available from the link below may not auto-update...." The wording says that _this VERSION of Chrome (downloaded from here)_ may not auto-update, making it seem like some special bug/quirk of this downloaded version, when in fact that's not true. BOTH the offline installer and regular installer may not be able to auto-update. Have you noted that detail anywhere for the regular installer? If not, that detail is also not important for the offline installer either. As you say, inability to download new updates due to proxy configurations is already a noted bug for BOTH offline and regular installers. You don't need to specially mention that in answer=126299. That answer text needs to be fixed and updated. I also thought that the offline version could not auto-update like other versions. This needs to be fixed ASAP. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
