The Google Chrome browser setup file is available for download in PKG Installer and DMG Installer. The DMG file is not an application installer but a distribution medium for the app, similar to the Windows ISO file format.
On the other hand, a PKG-based application is an installer package that consolidates all the essential components, scripts, and metadata necessary for the application’s installation into a single .pkg file.
You can select either of the installers to deploy the app on the user’s devices. I’ve prepared step-by-step guides for each installer type on deploying these apps using Intune, using Google Chrome as an example app.
