How standalone are packaged Chrome Apps?

Question

I have a HTML5 app, that I need to redistribute as a desktop application. One solution could be Chrome packaged apps, but it seems you can only install those packages using the Chrome webstore.

Is there an easy way to distribute Chrome apps using a stand-alone installer, and without requiring the end-user to have Chrome installed?

Answer 1

You can install them using the .crx file given to you while packaging, but that still requires chrome. Actually, you pretty much have to somehow have chrome on the target, as the standalone apps use it's framework. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Chromium嵌入式框架项目的CefView示例可用于此目的。
