Currently most software installers have a small bootstrap and during the actuall install will download only the files that are actually needed.
Often that is not convenient: slow or no network connection, repeated installs in a test environment, etc.
Luckily, a lot of software does have an offline installer (a.k.a. standalone installer).
Being no exception Google Chrome has two offline installers: one single user install, and one for all users on the same Windows machine.
It ends up at one of these download pages, each with a download link for the current version (which changes for every new version):
- current user, with usage statistics:
https://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.html?standalone=1&installdataindex=defaultbrowser - current user, no usage statistics:
https://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.html?standalone=1&statcb=&installdataindex=defaultbrowser - all users, with usage statistics:
https://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.html?system=true&standalone=1&statcb=&installdataindex=defaultbrowser - all users, no usage statistics:
https://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.html?system=true&standalone=1&installdataindex=defaultbrowser
