I use Google chrome portable (so I can transfer cookies between PC's using my USB drive) and I'm getting notifications saying I need to update chrome, but doesn't give an option for chrome portable, how am I supposed to update Google chrome portable? i tried googling it, but it only gives results for either hacking in a update or stuff for the non-portable version.

I've been using PortableApps Chrome Portable since it's been available.

Here's how I update it:

  1. Download the .paf.exe from https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable
  2. Run it and provide the location of Chrome Portable's existing directory (e.g. P:\GoogleChromePortable
  3. That's it, the installer automatically downloads and updates everything over existing installation while retaining all settings, etc.
