New issue 15905 by [email protected]: System uninstall fails after dev  
channel install attempt
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15905

Steps reported by jarbon:

1. Have system-level Google Chrome installed (Stable channel).
2. Try installing a Dev channel release from
http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?extra=devchannel
3. Step 2 fails (expected).
4. Uninstall Google Chrome.
5. Repeat step 2: it continues to fail.

The install in step 4 continues to fail until you remove
HKLM\Software\Google\Update\ClientState\{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-
A69D9E530F96}

I haven't reproduced this, but my theory is that we fail to remove that key
if it has an unexpected value in it (the ap value for the channel). Then
the "is there already a system-level install?" check is failing because of
the existence of the key.

I could be way off. We need to reproduce this so we can examine the state
of the system at step 5.
