That is why I suggested that registry key, you can sort of cheat it. Maybe you need to remove the folder as well and change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\ClientState\{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96} As well.
If you decrement the version beyond the current dev\stable\beta version, it will try to install it (on the next Google Update cycle, maybe). I think successfully. ☆PhistucK On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 21:18, Finnur Thorarinsson <fin...@chromium.org>wrote: > You can use the channel changer, as PhistucK points out, to switch and then > use the About box to update, but you can only move forward in time (stable > -> beta -> dev).
