All of the code necessary to build a working Chrome Frame and an installer binary is present in the open source repository. The code for the MSI isn't there, but that's just a very thin wrapper around the Chrome Frame and Google Update exe installers.

If you've got a copy of the MSI already, run it against Dark (the WiX decompiler) and you'll be pretty much handled a copy of the MSI source. Obviously you'll have some cleanup work, but it's a hell of a start. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/dark.htm

Yup it certainly is... too bad that the build is not usable without extensive knowledge of how to integrate it into IE. Something which a very limited subset of people know.

It would be a fair bit of work but it wouldn't be impossible. There are really only a couple of places in the main Chrome code base that are CF-specific - the automation interface and the external tab container.

Sounds like a business opportunity for someone. Even based on this thread there seem to be a few shops that would pay for support for it.

Chrome Frame is open source. http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome_frame...

Looks like it's time for a fork.

Chrome Frame supports exactly the same admin mechanisms as Chrome and can be blocked the same way using Google Update group policy settings.
