Need help installing a separate copy of Chrome

Post by joshs »

I need to have a separate copy of Chrome to run a very unsafe Chrome extension.
But installing Chrome in a sandbox always fails, maybe because of the "you have to turn off hardware acceleration" problem that others have noticed about the latest versions of Chrome and Sandboxie+
I don't know. But I can't get an install to succeed.

Getting chrome installer to work is a bit problematic at the moment, that will not work any time soon unfortunately.

But since chrome extensions are installed only to the user profile, creating a fresh user profile inside a sandbox for the externaly installed chrome will be just as good.

Or you can just copy the chrome instalation forlder into a sandboxed location, and bypass the installer entierly.
