It needs to remain silent for automatic updates. In some cases it may get launched from a system service that does not have an interactive desktop, so it cannot have UI. Perhaps a third-party Chromium updater is what you're looking for: http://www.google.com/search?q=chromium+nightly+installer Or just wait for the hourglass cursor to go away after you double-click mini_installer.exe. I don't want to invest in building, testing, and archiving a separate installer for the continuous builds. They're not production-ready, and I will make no commitments to keeping them so. > <http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10955> > > > On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 10:55 PM, Robert Dailey <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I'm just not very clear on the purpose for the silent installation.
