@JohnTHaller: Thank you for the new release. Regarding the registry entries that are left behind I will post in the forum.
v49.0.2623.112
There was a Crashpad issue causing the APPDATA directory to be left behind that was fixed in today's releases. I can't reproduce the others on any OS. Please post a complete bug report in the support forum here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/other_apps We have hundreds of apps and bug reports as comments on another site often won't be seen and won't wind up being addressed, at least not in a timely manner.
v49.0.2623.110
Tested on Windows 10 64bit:
After closing Chrome and the PortableApps.com platform 13.0 I found files in this folder:
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
AND in the registry I found settings in these keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\PreReadFieldTrial
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome
v49.0.2623.110
Chrome still works on Windows XP (confirmed with 45.0.2454.101) but it will not work on an older processor lacking SSE2 support.
v45.0.2454.101
I don't think Chrome, portable or not, works on Windows XP any longer, I can never get it to work....
v45.0.2454.101
@ Mike.S.G.: Thanks ... and updated ;)
