Failed to find chromium executable #63

Closed FraH90 closed 1 year ago

FraH90 commented 1 year ago

On the latest version, 5.2.2, it doesn't even open the browser on windows, it says "failed to find chromium executable" I'm using the installer version.

can't reproduce

windows 10, sharedown setup, working as expected once installed

try to uninstall it and delete its data folder (C:\Users\yourUserName\AppData\Roaming\sharedown)

Ok, seems this happens when you install sharedown as system wide installation (i.e. on program files directory). Maybe it's something due to permission stuff, you don't have admin permission in those folders. If you install it in the default install dir (as "personal installation") it works as normal.

i just install with default setup options, actually dont remember if there are options in windows installer, i ll check
