Where is Google Chrome located in Windows 8? [duplicate]

Is Google Chrome located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, or is it in C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application?

A few months ago, a friend of mine said the former. But yesterday, I asked another friend who did a fresh install of Chrome, and she is saying the latter.

Which one is true for Windows 8? Did Chrome change something?

Solution 1:

This is what google says on their change to the install directory:

Actually we did change the download page to install system-level by default (and fall back to user level if that fails or the user says "no" to the UAC prompt). Installing in AppData was never a security measure, it was for convenience to make sure people could install Chrome even without admin rights.

Our data shows that preferring a system level (Program Files) install with a fallback to user level improves the install success rate. - Mark Larson (Google)

Standard: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\

Fallback: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application
