Add support for Google Chrome on ARM

Google has officially released its ARM native Chrome browser for Windows. As our users start to adopt Copilot+ PCs in the future, its important that we be able to deploy and patch the native version of Chrome to our fleet.

      We’d also love to start seeing ARM support by PMPC as we begin using these devices in our org.

      We use PatchMyPC to install the 64-bit MSI version of Google Chrome and noticed that the installation fails on ARM64 devices. This could be a bug in Google Chrome because I recall it worked previously, but it is causing a larger issue for our organization that uses Microsoft Defender XDR.

      The installation writes a registry key to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ but the key is not removed when the installation fails. The failure occurs before Google Chrome is able to update the DisplayVersion value so it uses the MSI version (currently 70.83.32895) instead of the application version. Microsoft Defender XDR flags this as a vulnerable legacy version of Google Chrome and increases our exposure score.

      The support of ARM64 Google Chrome would be great because it would help mitigate this issue entirely.
