ran your tool also re permissions. Still the Pete folder shows lock but nothing under that is locked.
Did full uninstall and reinstall with stand alone version.
Went to Pete/Appdata/Local/google/Chrome and now the olny folder in there is a user data folder nothing else. no update exe or folder anywhere
if anyone wants to remotely look at my pc via teamviewer I'm open to that too. Pls PM me..this is driving me mad
locked folder icon back again!
locked folder icon keeps appearing for users/myname
i changed to ssd a month or so ago and I think this started after that. Maybe a profile issue?
added a fresh win 7 user profile as a test.
Went straight to chrome to check for update in about box. Exactly same error and code
Ok found GoogleUpdate.exe in Programs(x86)/Google/Update
I execute it and nothing happens.
I check if Chrome has updated, same issue with error
services for update....
and the service is running although it says 32bit?
Google Update process being 32bit isn't a problem. I'm beginning to suspect security software might be to blame as in Firewall/ Antivirus or Antispwyare with HIPS/ or HOSTS file.
googleupdate.exe is running so it looks like something blocks connection to the update server.
Busy at the moment though.
Okay I have to give up on this one. I installed Chrome 64bit (monitored install) then tried to reproduce the error. Nothing I tried could reproduce it.
