A small and very fast portable launcher and updater for Chromium.
This package:
- installs chrlauncher, not Chromium.
- will set chrlauncher to download/install/update Chromium without the need for admin rights.
- by default, sets the install location for Chromium to be the per-user, %APPDATA% directory. Use the
/Shared package parameter (below) to make the Chromium install location be in the chrlauncher directory and have Chromium (and all its settings) shared among all users.
Note
Other (system-wide) chrlauncher settings can be modified in the chrlauncher.ini file located in the same directory as the target of the Chromium Launcher desktop shortcut. Some options include:
- Auto download updates
- Show a chrlauncher window when updating (default is a tray icon only)
- Type of Chromium build
- Update check period
Package Parameters
The following package parameters can be set:
/KeepSettings - Maintain all settings from an existing, previous version, package installation. (No check for compatibility.)
/Default - Make chrlauncher the default "browser". This option requires installing with admin rights.
/Shared - Share the Chromium install among all users.
/Type:<build> - Set chrlauncher to use a specific Chromium build:
(Adjust the chrlauncher.ini file to manually change the build after installation)
These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of -params.
For example:
choco install chrlauncher.portable -params '"/Default /KeepSettings"'
choco install chrlauncher.portable -params '"/Type:stable-codecs-sync"'
