Google Chrome 131.0.6778.86 (EXE-x64)

[dave.west]

We have both the Google Chrome MSI-x86 and MSI-x64 versions enabled and are working without issue.  However, we have enabled the EXE-x64 version to cover all bases but it is failing to download with 'The hash of file downloaded is different than the file hash in our catalog'.

I did see this but it refers to the MSI version https://patchmypc.com/forum/index.php?topic=8289.0

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with the Google Chrome EXE version?

Hello dave.west,

Google released a new update last week for version 131.0.6778.109.

Unfortunately with this release the installer for the Google Chrome MSI no longer functions properly. A bug has been created for Google here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/382108340.

Due to this issue, Patch My PC is holding the update and not releasing the latest Chrome update for both the MSI, but also the EXE, just to be safe.

Unfortunately, because Google uses a static download link, holding the update will cause a hash mismatch. This error is expected at this time, and will remain until Google updates their installer and Patch My PC updates our catalog with a fixed version of Chrome.

Google confirmed they are working on a fix, and are expecting the fix to be released tomorrow, December 10th.
We are monitoring their releases, as we always do, and as soon as they fix this issue in their next release, we'll update our catalogue

Thanks for confirming this issue affects both the MSI and the EXE, that explains the behaviour we are seeing.

Hi Dave,

From our testing, the behaviour only impacts the MSI, but we withheld the EXE version too, given the vendor confirmed issues with the current version, just to be safe.
