Firstly, I am complete newbie to VPS/VMs.
I'm having a problem in downloading Chrome browser on Azure VMs.
I connected to the VM through RDP, opened Internet Explorer and tried downloading Chrome. But I couldn't, I had administrator access.

How do you do this? Is there another method available?
 
After searching for hours and hours, I finally found out. Simply download the software on your pc and copy&paste it to your VM. Simple as that.

@BassTrackerBoats please close this thread.
 
First go to server manager>>select local server>>them turn off IE enhanced security
Then you download chrome on Internet Explorer
 
You had a trouble to download anything using IE (internet explorer) since you have disabled download by default for all users

Find and open your Server Manager and follow the images

Thank you all for your input.
 
Open powershell and input this than press enter if needed

Code:
$LocalTempDir = $env:TEMP; $ChromeInstaller = "ChromeInstaller.exe"; (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/375.126/chrome_installer.exe', "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller"); & "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller" /silent /install; $Process2Monitor = "ChromeInstaller"; Do { $ProcessesFound = Get-Process | ?{$Process2Monitor -contains $_.Name} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name; If ($ProcessesFound) { "Still running: $($ProcessesFound -join ', ')" | Write-Host; Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 } else { rm "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose } } Until (!$ProcessesFound)

Give it a minute or two:)
