Doesn't handle symbolic links properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install Chrome
2.Have C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google be a symbolic to a folder on 
another drive
3.Attempt to update from About Chrome
4.Always returns "update server not available error 3"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to update correctly, instead always returns error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3.21.57, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
If I change all references to "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\" in the 
registry to point to the symbolically linked folder everything works correctly.

I can't reproduce this with 1.3.21.99 or 1.3.21.111.  Could you confirm that 
the bug still occurs on your machine?
