Need help to install Chrome.exe silently via the KACE
Hi guys,
I am new with the KACE. I am trying to push Google Chrome .exe file to my test systems via the KACE. But I am getting error.
I see the file is downloaded on the test computer under the KACE-Downloads folder but the installation is failing.
If I do the Managed installation and push any .msi file it works but does not want to work with .exe files.
I tried the following commands:
SETUP.EXE /?
Setup.exe /s/v" /qn
Any ideas how to push .exe files to a system via the KACE ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi sash2003,
for chrome i would suggest to use the msi for enterprises: https://cloud.google.com/chrome-enterprise/browser/download
You can simply push the installation like this and can configure the group policy objects (proxy, bookmarks, sync, download location and much more) over desktop authority:
Kind Regards

Just a heads up, if you use the GPO to allow users to roam the Chrome settings (this incl extensions) within the organisations (whether logged into a Google account or not), it will disable syncing with the between the google cloud and the Google account, ie users logged into Chrome with a Google account with not have bookmarks or history sync'ed. - rileyz 4 years ago

Hi Timo ! Thank you very much for your help! I am just wondering If I could install .exe file on the windows machine using the KACE . Do you think it's possible ? or KACE works with .msi files only ? - sash2003 4 years ago

Hey sash2003,
sure this i s possible. You can attach everything in KACE SMA and execute it with a commannd line. It doesn't matter if this is a .zip, .msi, .exe, .bat or whatever. You can have a look on page 503 of the admin handbook. Otherwise feel free to contact your local sales rep for help.
Kind Regards

I didn't find where this package provides an option for specifying a custom installation path. Did I miss that, or is it simply not an option? - JLankford 4 years ago

Hi Bilo111, I see you are pushing .msi file. I am just wondering if I am going to push .exe file with the same command (msiexec /i ) will it work ? Do you have any experience with pushing .exe files via the KACE ?
Thank you. - sash2003 4 years ago-
Hi Sash2003, i also push many things with .exe files and thats also good and i have good exp. you can check exe files for their commands if you open a "CMD" and try it with /help oder /? to check the commands, how to install silent or else - Bilo111 4 years ago

Hi Sash2003, you can install che chromesetup.exe so :
Chromesetup.exe /silent /install or you can also download the msi file here : https://cloud.google.com/chrome-enterprise/browser/download - Bilo111 4 years ago-
Thank you very much Bilo111 for your reply. Unfortunately this command did not work out for me. I have the same error: Egads! Installation failed. Error code: 0x80070057 I need to figure out why I am always receiving the same error I guess. - sash2003 4 years ago

Hi Sash2003, please try to open a elevated(admin) commandwindow (cmd) and go to the path where your chrome setup file is and then type this command (you can copy it frome here) chromesetup.exe /silent /install
This Command must be function. - Bilo111 4 years ago
