What happened?

MSIs provided by GoogleChrome when dowloaded via Save-EvergreenApp or the browser are old versions and fail to install correctly.

https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/dev/googlechromedevstandaloneenterprise64.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/dev/googlechromedevstandaloneenterprise.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/beta/googlechromebetastandaloneenterprise64.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/beta/googlechromebetastandaloneenterprise.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise_Arm64.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise.msi

The URLs used when downloading from https://chromeenterprise.google/download/ have the following format, with the iid variable changing depending on the browser session:

https://dl.google.com/tag/s/appguid={8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}&iid={22F1BBCC-DFD5-36D7-B10E-73937BDEC5F7}&lang=en&browser=5&usagestats=0&appname=Google%20Chrome&needsadmin=true&ap=x64-stable-statsdef_0&brand=GCOM/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi

For Evergreen we need to find a solution using one of the following:

  1. New evergreen URLs that provide access to the latest MSIs without requiring the URL structure above; or
  2. Determine how to generate a URL to enable download the correct MSI file

Version

2412.1685

I think this may be partly due to the mess that the developers made of the MSI file (at least for stable version 131.0.6778.109)

We always deploy the latest release as the 64-bit standalone enterprise edition .msi installer to our estate, unfortunately due to a change in the packaging version the Chromium Project / Google Chrome developers used, they introduced a regression bug which meant the .msi file they published did not work correctly. This has meant we can not update the current version of Google Chrome at the moment via a push install.

The Developers have a bug raised against this issue (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/382108340), which has been assigned "Priority 1, Severity 2", so is getting about as high attention as is possible. The latest comment states:
"We've currently landed the necessary fixes and we're currently waiting for the next version of the MSI installer to be built and released. At this time that is expected on Tuesday Dec 10th; we are exploring accelerating that timeline but there is nothing definite yet. As a workaround until then, it may work for you to use a tagged URL like the one above."

N.B. Unfortunately the tagged URL version still does not work for us.

A colleague has just discovered this Powershell one liner to return the latest version, it uses the same source of info that Evergreen uses, so sharing here as it may be useful for anyone that does not have the Evergreen module installed.

($(irm 'https://versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/win64/channels/stable/versions').versions | select -first 1).version

obviously the win64 and stable parts can be replaced with the appropriate OS Architecture and Channel as required
