Google Chrome on Windows 7 x64

February 11, 2009

in Windows

The latest beta of Chrome (2.0.169.1) now works unmodified on Windows 7 x64

I’ve had some issues with Google Chrome (1.0.154.48) running on Windows 7 x64, but thanks to these two links, it’s now working great.

To get Chome working you’ll need to add switches to your Chrome shortcut. Most people look to be getting good results by adding the ‘–in-process-plugins’ switch but my experience has been mixed. I’ve found that adding ‘–no-sandbox’ as well as worked. So your shortcut should look something like this:

[quickcode:noclick]C:\Users\Aaron\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –no-sandbox –in-process-plugins[/quickcode]

It probably is, but getting Chrome running is better than no Chrome at all. I also run as standard user, never admin.
