I didn't notice - but I probably wasn't looking for it.
I've now removed Chrome and its hidden residues from my laptop and my desktop. I've done the same for my friend round the corner who tried it, didn't like it, removed it, and then had the same "attempting to update" messages from ZoneAlarm.
I wonder what it was trying to update, given that it was supposed to have uninstalled itself. I was a bit surprised when it said "Was it something we said?" when I went to remove it. I didn't get the "Removed" message afterwards - just back to the Control Panel remove software page.
Anyway, I'm now very wary of it, and hence of Google in general - which I wasn't before.
I suspect your 2007 updater is for Google Earth.
