Every time chrupd is executed, it seems the script reinstalls Chromium

[tomtheone]

Hi all

Is this normal? Every time the script is executed, it says "Could not find Chromium, initial installation will be done by the downloaded installer...". Why is the script unable to detect the installation? Any ideas?

The script will be executed like this and with the default config.

D:\Data\Scripts\chrupd.cmd -sysLvl

It's also Windows Server 2022 and not Windows Server 2016.

C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads>D:\Data\Scripts\chrupd.cmd -sysLvl

Hi,
To detect existing install it checks registry key first:
HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Chromium\Version

and then folder: <AppData>\Chromium\Application
( ofc that folder will never match for -sysLvl )

The Windows version should not be an issue but I'll add 2022 to the list.
