Installing the enterprise edition of Google Chrome may not uninstall nor update the consumer edition. Additionally, problems may occur when installing the enterprise edition of Google Chrome on a computer that already has the consumer edition present. BigFix recommends that the consumer edition of Google Chrome is uninstalled before installing the enterprise edition. Fixlet message "Google Chrome - Consumer Edition Installed" (ID 14011003) can be used to uninstall the consumer edition of Google Chrome.
