First, there are portable versions of Chrome - unofficial, though. http://portableapps.com/search/node/Chrome For example, has a few.
Second, the Chromium project maintain snapshots for current builds and since the build you want (milestone 2) is outdated in terms of actual current development, they have created a branch specifically for it, but no snapshots are being maintained or it, instead, they are simply being released when it is revised. You can take the snapshot version of Chrome 2 from the base revision snapshot (, but it will have the bugs that were fixed only in later *branch revisions*. (I hope what I just wrote makes sense.) The closest you can get to a bugful, yet pretty authentic snapshot for the 2.0.172 branch is this one - http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/12874/ Or this one - http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/12883/ What happened was, that they branched 172 using Revision 12881 (no snapshot for that one) and then branched only WebKit from 12875 (also no snapshot). So you are kind of stuck in the middle. 12883 has gone through yet another WebKit merge since 12881 and 12875 had gone through WebKit API changes since 12874. Other than that, you can get Visual Studio, run an SVN checkout specifically to the 172.28 branch (http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/branches/172/) tree and build Chromium. Yes, it will be Chromium and not Chrome, but it is what you want anyway, since you are not looking for auto updating. If you are not building the tests, it may take an hour, two. With the test, twice the time or more (perhaps not). Now, how about that? ☆PhistucK On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 07:20, E <[email protected]> wrote: > > No, there are executable snapshots for the stable versions of firefox! > I know it because, I use them ;-) > > There is no need for an installation!
