Use gdebi to install .deb files, instead of Software Center, as it's a lot more reliable, and more user-friendly.

In terminal...

sudo apt-get update # to update the software databases
sudo apt-get install gdebi # to install gdebi, if it's not already there

Find the Chrome .deb file that you downloaded. Right-click on it, and choose Properties, and change the "open with" default from Software Center to gdebi.

Then double-click on the .deb file to install Chrome.

Why not try using the terminal way 

dpkg -i <packge name>.deb

if not successful you might get errors why.
