Today my wife's tablet announced that google chrome required an update.  I tried several times to update.  The update would download but the install failed.

I took the desperate measure of resetting to factory specs, got the tablet up and running again, opened Play Store and went to apps and games.  Google chrome was there to be updated.  Try as I might it will NOT update; it downloads the update but fails on the install process.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue

I had the same problem a while ago.

I solved it by clearing the caches for the Google Play Store app. A friend said he got around the issue by using advice he saw on this site. It says that enabling automatic updates can help out. 

I advice you have a Wi-Fi connection and your device is charging if you're to take the second option. 

It's been a while and I'm not sure if this is still relevant. Just wanted to share.
