On Windows XP I get Chrome is out of date message, how to hide it/stop it from appearing?

Reported by magnafel...@gmail.com, Jun 28 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : <Copy from: '49'>
OS: Windows XP
URLs (if applicable) : Previous forum post at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/M9VAYbxIHPY;context-place=forum/chrome

Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari: - 
    Firefox: OK
         IE: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open Chrome
(2) Leave for 2 hours aprox.
(3) Google Update message pop up

What is the expected result?
Should not pop up a Google Update message, as it cannot be updated anymore.

What happens instead?
It does show the Google Update message.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

We are creating a web application that is currently using Chrome, right now we are minimizing every single thing that can be avoided for the customer (changing Chrome settings, etc.). We give support to Windows XP and Windows 7, on Windows 7 we found a way to stop this message from appearing but for XP it is still showing, probably because is an older version and the next "check update" variable (just thinking ahead of myself) has probably passed and it pops up this message. 

Is there a way to avoid this message from appearing, it is holding our release right now... 

Thank you very much, best regards
-Felipe Gonzalez

Hey MAD: it looks like the outdated upgrade bubble is showing for XP users (who no longer get updates). Is there a way we can turn it off without a client-side change?

Comment 3 by grt@chromium.org, Jul 21 2016

Actually, we'd only want to turn off the 12-weeks-out-of-date part. I don't see how that can be controlled independently. Do you know of a way? Thanks.

Make the outdated build detector disabler load and run on XP.

This change:
- removes the dependency on base
- builds with cl.exe options to target old CPUs and runtimes
- drops GYP support
- drops building and testing on x64
- archives the tool and symbols on official builders

Remove the tool to disable the outdated build detector for organic installs of Chrome.

It served its purpose and is no longer needed. This is a simple revert
of r414123, r413080, r412464, r411775, and r410031.

Status: Fixed (was: Started)
You should no longer see the message. Thanks for reporting this,
Hi grt,

With which Chrome installer should I be able to not longer see this message?
Should I just download again Chrome Installer v49?

Best Regards,
-Felipe Gonzalez

Comment 12 by grt@chromium.org, Sep 10 2016

Unless you have disabled Google Update, your machine should have been magically fixed. No action should be needed on your part. Do you still see the prompt? What version of Chrome do you have? Did you install it from google.com/chrome?
How can I disable Google Update? So I can double check that part.

Best Regards,
-Felipe Gonzalez

Comment 14 by grt@chromium.org, Sep 12 2016

Why do you ask? Do you find that the out of date message is still appearing? If so, what version of Chrome are you using (chrome://version)?
Sorry grt,

Just checked with the test team and the pop up is not showing anymore.

Thank you very much!

Comment 16 by grt@chromium.org, Sep 16 2016

Glad to hear it!
Hi grt,

The test team has just said that the pop up has came back... :( 

Can we have the latest installation version of your build? The version that it has right now says:

49.0.2623.110
It is a Windows XP machine with no internet connection.

Best Regards,
-Felipe Gonzalez

Comment 18 by grt@chromium.org, Oct 24 2016

49.0.2623.112 was the final build for XP. We did not ship a new build that removed the bubble, but rather shipped a probe that disabled it.
