Good day
I downloaded one of the old chrome versions from your slimjet website, to test with a project of mine. All good. Then I wanted to go back to the normal google chrome latest version and I cannot. I delete all chrome folders, registry keys, etc, etc and I cannot install the latest normal chrome browser, I keep getting messages that I have a newer version installed, could you please help me to find out how to fully uninstall an older chrome version downloaded from your website? I have tried everything, deleted all folders, deleted registry keys, etc, etc
How can I fully uninstall your old chrome versions so that I can reinstall the standard google one? help please
thank you so much

If you're running Windows, you could always try the Portable version of Chrome, available from PortableApps.com.
https://portableapps.com/apps
Like the SlimJet version, it will run from its own totally self-contained folder, which can be placed anywhere you like. I used to run it from My Documents. Just link the executable to the desktop, and there's your launcher.
It doesn't write to the main registry; it has its own mini-registry within the folder. Back when I still ran XP, I never installed any programs at all on the final re-install; I ran absolutely everything I needed as a bunch of portables.
Worked a treat. And if you ever have any problems with a Portable 'install', simply delete the folder ('registry' goes with it). Then 're-install' again (re-unzip the PortableApp's contents to a new folder.) Just my two-penn'orth.
Mike.

Thank you both for your replies
I did try already
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/d ... andalone=1 ,
but it fails, it gives the error message that I have newer version installed and does not allow me to install the latest google one.
My problem is that i cannot manage to delete whatever traces the slimjet installer left, and i cannot install a normal google version, no matter what i do,
any tips?

This is an unusual problem for Slimjet.
If you have not done so, using the Slimjet offline installer, right click and run it as Admin. See if that will work.
Another thing to try is to log into a different admin account on the same computer and install it (again the Slimjet offline installer) using that account. See if that will cover/correct the other account.
Failing that, I would install the Standalone Slimjet. Run it, then go into settings and under the Default browser section click the button to, "Repair browser registry settings".
