Hey People.
I Just Downloaded Google Chrome From Google's Website however the installation file does not run.
When I run Chrome.tar.gz An error pops up saying the file cannot be opened as it is not associated with any other program.
Do tell me If you know what should I do Regarding this.
Hey,
You have not mentioned your OS .
For Windows: Use this Chrome Download URL
https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/browser/
For Linux
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?platform=linux
For Mac
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?platform=mac
Google Chrome will give you directly the installers, if it is Linux you need to select 32 bit or 64 bit versions of OS versions and is given as .RPM and .DEB (red hat package manager and debian packages)
Try downloading and installing the direct installers given by the Google Chrome Portal.
OR
If you want to open .tar.gz files, then these files can be opened in Linux the command to open up these files is
# tar -zxvf <filename.tar.gz>
or
# gunzip <filename.tar.gz>
#tar -xvf <filename.tar>
Cheers

You most likely download the wrong installer for Windows 7. .gz files are used by Unix systems to install applications. Windows is giving you that error that it is not associated with another program is because windows needs the application to be able to handle .gz files.
Â
What you need is the installer that ends in .exe which is the extension for windows installers. You can get it from here:

You need to click Accept and Install (if you accept the EULA after reading through it) and the site will prompt you for the download. Just download the installer, then run it when it completes and it should install successfully.
