Nope; mine is just a simple batch file which I've scheduled to run at regular intervals using the Windows task scheduler.

how about sharing it ? :-)

I can't remember where I got it from. This is also not going to work right off the bat - you'll need to modify quite a few things to get it working on your system, specifically where you want to save Chromium to, and the program to be called to unzip the downloaded chrome-win32.zip file.

Code:

cd /d D:\Programs\Chromium
bitsadmin /transfer latest http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/LATEST %temp%\LATEST
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set SEPARATOR=/
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%temp%\LATEST) do (
	set filecontent=%%a
	)
bitsadmin /transfer chrome http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/%filecontent%/chrome-win32.zip %temp%\chrome-win32.zip
"c:\Program Files\7-zip\7z.exe" x %temp%\chrome-win32.zip
rd /s/q Chromium-backup
ren Chromium Chromium-backup
ren chrome-win32 Chromium

thanks
will see and adjust the codes

Seeing as your the man when it comes to Chromium, a couple of questions ...

The reason I'm asking, is that I want to install the various builds of Chrome so that I can troubleshoot any problems that are posted here by looking at the relevant build, however to make this complete I also want to install Chromium ...

I know when you download Chromium you get a choice of a Zip file or Installer and that the folders are User Data and Chrome-Win32

How do you install Chrome extensions (crx) and how do you update your current version ...

Your guidance here will be much appreciated ...

I download the zip file and extract it to the Desktop using the folder's default name;
chrome-win32; from the folder I sendto the exe to the Desktop creating a shortcut and add the command lines; Upon running it the first time, it will create the User data under Chromium; when installing extensions, I fire up Chromium and download/install from it, keeping Chrome closed. The files will be located in the extension folder of Chromium in the Document and settings folder. There is no auto update for Chromium. To download a new version/build, simply download it from the site and extract it to the chrome-win32 folder. I hope this answer your questions. Feel free to ask if you need more info
