Google Chrome Not Launching

Post by dcresistance »

The path to launch the chrome.exe file is correct (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe), but when I click on the button in my current Rainmeter skin, Chrome doesn't launch.

Any help?

Try putting the link inside quotations:
"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

If there are any spaces in your username, that would cause it to need quotes...

You should be able to paste the link into "Run..." and have Chrome open... does that work? If not then there is a problem unrelated to Rainmeter.

Lastly, you could post the code here to have others test it...
