Fixlet Description: Note: This Fixlet Message is for audit purposes only. Due to the nature of the install, BigFix does not have an action for installing Google Chrome. Google has released a new version of the Chrome browser (47.0.2526.111). The listed computers have an older version of Google Chrome installed. Follow the link for the enterprise edition of 'Google Chrome 47.0.2526.111' download on this page. 

Important Note: This Fixlet will detect the existence of an outdated Google Chrome for both the consumer edition and the enterprise edition. 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.

Important Note: If this Fixlet is still relevant after installing the latest enterprise edition of Google Chrome, the issue is most likely that the computer has an outdated consumer edition installed. Fixlet message "Google Chrome - Consumer Edition Installed" (ID 14011003) can be used to detect this condition.
