This batch file installs and updates Chromium on Windows.
You need Wget! You can download it here. Simply put wget.exe where ChrUpdWin.cmd is.
It is recommended to put batch file in a separate directory, because it overwrites running,mini_installer.exe,LAST_CHANGE,LAST_INSTALLED without prompt!

What's the purpose of appending "goto and/or hell" to lines 13-17/21 of this script?
