As I commented in another answer, Chrome doesn't install in the "usual"
locations.  Check:

  c:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application

This doesn't require elevated privs, because the directory structure is
owned by the user.  The same applies to XP as well, it'll install it in
the docs and settings folder instead.
