The reason Chrome installs where it does is discussed here:

It's a *really* nice browser, so I'd urge you to try it. Perhaps you'll
have more luck with Chromium, the non-branded development version. You
can download nightly builds here:

IE8 beta 2 also has developer tools built in:

This is possibly the most useful of the lot, especially the rendering
switcher for testing compatibility between 7 and 8.
