As I understand it, when you click on the update button in Chrome, it talks to the windows service that is running in the background as a service on the local PC. Chrome does not have any in-built updater or checker function, at all. All that it has is the ability to talk to a separate local application running as a service.
So the problem with the portable one is that there is no service to reach since the service that it is trying to reach is the Google Updater Service running on the local PC. Edit: the fact that the updater is available as an open source app doesn't help up to get it to run as a service without admin access on the PC. I figured it was something.
Since it is a service, could PA run the service off of the portable install? It could be loaded before Chrome runs and unloaded when it exits. It's a service as in a Windows installed service at the OS-level.
Chrome is designed to be integrated with Windows and use a separate update service. Unlike Firefox that has an updater built-in. There are currently no plans to portablize the Chrome updater which would require a rewrite and recompilation from the open source bits to make it portable.
Instead, users will be pointed to the Platform's built-in updater debuting soon.
