Good afternoon, Don :-) 

Please read: 
 
http://sdfox7.com/chromexp2.htm

for instructions.

Latest version, 49.0.2623.112, pushed 
on Apr 7th, still runs fine. But major version 
49 of the stable (release) channel should be 
the last XP/Vista compatible. 

Vista (ny current OS) will remain under MS 
Extended Support until Apr 2017, yet the Chrome 
devs have also included it in their not-supported-anymore 
OSes (along with XP). 

Never have been a Chrome convert, used it 
occasionally for tests. There exists very 
interesting discussion in the following thread: 

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175404-chrome-49-update/

Keep an eye for any development there by the 
devoted XP/Vista communities (very uncertain 
ATM, but they may come up with a custom build 
of Chrome 49+ that could run on XP/Vista).

 Whenever spare time allows, instead 
of offering "pre-cooked" meal to a person 
seeking support, I prefer to direct him/her 
to the list of "ingredients" and a "recipe" !
