is already the defaul browser and would remain so. This is on Windows XP<br>
(next year being on Windows 7) with a Samba domain controller, roaming<br>
profiles, where users have a Limited user account rather than being a<br>
Power User or Administrator.<br>
<br>
How do you people deploy it? Does it work OK in this kind of environment<br>
if you allow users to install it themselves into their Windows profile and<br>
then it update itself? Obviously the sane way to do this is an enterprise<br>
deployment, installing into %PROGRAMFILES% and managing updates myself.<br>
But, being as only a few users need it, I'm wondering if I can save the<br>
organisation the expense of me managing the updates, by having per-person<br>
installs of just this one app.<br>
<br>
I've done some research and can see how to do an enterprise deployment of<br>
Chrome. If I installed it this way I'd configure each user's cache<br>
location to a place outside of their Windows roaming profile (so it<br>
doesn't take up excessive space in the profile), and disable auto updates.<br>
If this was going to work when installed by each user then I could<br>
manually change their cache location.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
