  3. This script does not work. It gives the wait message once and then the Verbose message, but nothing is actually installed. I am running on windows 10 with an HP EliteBook x360 830 G6.

  6. I want to use this script on a Windows server but don't have active internet connection. Can I put the chrome_installer.exe file to an AWS S3 bucket and install using this script? If yes, how should it look like?

    Reply
    • No, it will not work. You need an active internet connection in order to download the chrome installer.
