Hi, Chrome is an app copy, not an installer package. Use cmd-c to copy and cmd-option-v to Move the .dmg file that you put into your Applications folder onto your Desktop. Once it is on your Desktop, use cmd-o to open the disk image. From within the disk image window, navigate to the Google Chrome application and copy it with cmd-c Press cmd-shift-a to open your Applications folder and cmd-v to Paste it into there. You cannot use the cmd-option-v command here as the disk image is read only thus you're unable to move it out of the disk image. Once the copy is complete, close any windows, eject the disk image, Trash the .dmg file and you should be able to use Chrome from your Applications folder and/or use cmd-ctrl-shift-t to move it to the Dock so it can be opened from there.
HTH. Later...
