I recently have installed a second drive to my PC and decided to install Windows 8 on it. While installing all of my favorite programs I noticed that my Google Chrome installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\
Is there a way of installing Google Chrome to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application
No, I have not installed Google Pack and I also tried Alternate (offline) Google Chrome installer (Windows) but that did not work either.
@Karan, What's the best way to install Chrome in a portable folder? Is it enough to just install it normally and then copy the folder into a USB? – Pacerier – 2014-12-31T22:09:09.283
@Pacerier: No idea, sorry (for the late response too). Try it and if it works you can write up your own question and answer it too. – Karan – 2015-04-05T03:10:47.843
@Pacerier Try using Google Chrome Portable

I have also installed Chrome on other machines and it would usually install to AppData. – Darius – 2013-02-02T02:01:47.793
Did you install the same version of Chrome on every PC? Did you say yes to the UAC prompt every time? Was Chrome ever previously installed on those PCs? – Karan – 2013-02-02T02:03:05.117
Can't remember now. It's all good. I was having problem with --user-data-dir switch because of the fact that it installed in Program Files folder but I finally figured it out. Thanks – Darius – 2013-02-02T02:22:24.940
