[CLOSED] Unexpected Chrome location can prevent live preview from working on PC #990

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by SmartyP Monday Jun 04, 2012 at 18:43 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/996

With Sprint-8 I am running into the following error when enabling live file preview:

dialog title: "Error launching browser" dialog text: "The Google Chrome browser could not be found. Please make sure it is installed."

.. I have successfully used this same sprint release on another Win7 machine, so I'm not sure what exactly might be causing it. I do have Chrome installed, version "19.0.1084.52 m", and it is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

How does Brackets know where to look for Chrome? Any idea why it doesn't think I have it installed?

Reinstalling Chrome seemed to be the only solution. I found the cause of the problem - the path to the file is hardcoded in the Brackets app to the local appdata path - but somehow my install was in the program files folder.

This issue can be closed - the issue has been logged on the brackets-app github page instead: https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/issues/126

Reopening so we're tracking this in the Brackets issue tracker. Refer to adobe/brackets-app#126 for more info.

Updated title based on the issue filed in brackets-app. Marking medium priority.

Please expose this to something we can set in an ini file or something. Using it at workstations where I have no admin rights means I can't reinstall chrome to where the app is expecting it to be

I have the same problem as cheapteak, above. My Chrome is managed by IT service so I don't have any admin rights.

Making it configurable is a good idea.. As default setting, on Windows, we can read the Chrome's path from the App Path registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe

As of Sprint 14, we now read the chrome location from the App Paths registry variable.

@SmartyP@saich - is this fixed for you in Sprint 14?

Already uninstalled/reinstalled Chrome - so I can't really test it at this point. That installer which installed to the bad location was something called the 'Google Pack' - which isn't available anymore either.

I too can't verify it - I don't have a Windows machine with me.... :(

Yes, since Sprint 14 Brackets works well with my Chrome browser. Fixed for me! Thx
