I've uninstalled Chrome, and can't reinstall?

Question

Earlier today I uninstalled Google Chrome (using iObit Uninstaller, which always works fine). Now I'm trying to reinstall Chrome from https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ , but I keep getting the error message "This computer already has a more recent version of the Google Chrome components. Please use a more recent installer."

Then, under the error message, i click "Show me help for this issue," which takes me to https://support.google.com/installer/answer/117806?rd=1 . "Google Chrome is already installed?" I've uninstalled it. The program is nowhere to be found on my computer.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Are there any other specific files on my computer that need to be deleted? Thanks for any help.
