Google Chrome on Windows 7 x64

Posted on February 11, 2009 by Aaron Parker

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:

C:\Users\Aaron\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --no-sandbox --in-process-plugins

Google Chrome Properties

    is –no-sandbox not kinda bad to use? you loose the whole point of chrome

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

    I tried Virtualising Chrome on a Windows 32 bit App-V 4.6 Sequencer. When you use the plugin “–no-sandbox”, I get the following error upon opening Chrome. “You are using an unsupported command-line flag: –no-sandbox. Stability and security will suffer.” Is there any way to get rid of this. If I use the plug in –in-process-plugins”, Chrome doesn’t open up at all. Any help would be appreciated.
