Google Chrome logo
Αs promised, thе bеta of Google Chrome wаs released todаy. Wіth grеat anticipation I downloaded аnd installed іt.
Τhe installer wеnt аway for a whіle, uѕing 100% (of onе) СPU, but I thіnk thаt wаs because of thе ѕheer ѕize of mу browsing history bеing imported from Firefox. Νeed a progress bаr thеre, I thіnk.
Whеn іt finally installed, I started іt up аnd…
Τhe application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Сlick ΟK to terminate thе application.
I gеt thаt message еvery tіme I trу to loаd аny pаge.
Τhat mаkes mе a saaaad pаnda 
ΕDIT: Τhe problem ѕeems to bе caused bу Symantec Endpoint Security (specifically thе Application & Device Control component). Hopefully Symantec wіll release аn update thаt fіxes thіs ѕoon. Ιn thе meantime уou ϲan uninstall Application & Device Control without completely uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Security.
ΕDIT: Τhe problem hаs bеen аdded to thе Chrome bug tracker, ѕo уou ϲan trаck іts progress hеre

should be interesting to see if Chrome works more efficiently than FireFox and IE… if it’s faster than Firefox, since isn’t IE, then i’ll use it

Try this:Edit the Google Chrome shortcut. In target, put –no-sandbox at the end. It will be like this:“C:Documents and Settingsusername….GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –no-sandbox
March 25th, 2009 at 7:03 am
Try –no-sandbox option…

I use SEP and, yes, I’m getting the same error.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:03 am
I use SEP too and, yes, I get the same error.
March 26th, 2009 at 1:03 am
I too had the problem with SEP. I came across this:http://groups.google.com/group/google-chrome-he…
After following the advice and rebooting, the error disappeared.
March 26th, 2009 at 2:03 am
I too have Endpoint Security installed and I have the same error on 2 boxes running XP Pro.
I too do not want to uninstall ES, because nasty things happen when I do that
March 26th, 2009 at 3:03 am
I can’t even download the installer from the website.
I managed once, then it came back with “invalid win32 application” error.
Lame.

Yeah, I suspect it has something to do with my Symantec endpoint protection.But I don’t wanna uninstall my anti-virus software just to try out some fancy tools that’s not crucial to me…
March 26th, 2009 at 6:03 am
I also use Symantec Endpoint Protection. I can confirm that uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Protection solves the problem. I am waiting for update then because IMHO Symantec Endpoint is one of the best antivirus software I used.
From the other hand I believe it is rather SEP problem not google. My customer has had today issue with new computer SEP and AutoCAD 12. The problem was identical, just different address.
March 27th, 2009 at 3:03 am
Interesting - if an SEP update broke it, maybe Symantec can also fix it with an update
March 27th, 2009 at 3:03 am
I got the same thing running 32 bit SEP (MR2). I uninstalled SEP, rebooted, and Chrome started working (without an fresh install). I then installed SEP and Chrome worked until SEP pulled down updates. Now, on another PC running 64 bit Home Vista, and 64 bit SEP (MR2), Chrome worked upon install and continues to work. So it must be a 32 bit SEP issue.
March 27th, 2009 at 6:03 am
Yes I am… though disabling it didn’t help, and I’m not sure I want to uninstall it to find out whether that’s the problem…
March 27th, 2009 at 7:03 am
same error.I do have Symantec Endpoint.Uninstalling it now.Will post if fix the issue
March 28th, 2009 at 1:03 am
They’ll probably just release another version in a day or two that fixes the problem
March 28th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Are you running Symantec Endpoint? That seems to be what is causing this error for a lot of people right now….
March 28th, 2009 at 7:03 am
well to be fair we did all download and install it within seconds of it being released
I’m sure IE and Firefox had their share of teething troubles in the early days
March 28th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Yeah, I’m having the same problem here. That’s quite ironic:)
March 29th, 2009 at 2:03 am
I have the same exact problem. In fact all my coworker had the same problem when installing chrome on our pc. One of the tried to install chrome in his laptop and was successful.

I’m running XP Pro SP2, and it installed and is working pretty well. Still, I went to Facebook and ran into a big problem: Facebook doesn’t work very well. For instance, the pages load just find, but let’s say I click on a button or something that usually launches one of those mini windows (Like if you want to add a new friend, so you click on their name and it pops up that mini box for you to enter the personal message, etc.). Well, that doesn’t work at all. Also, lots of other buttons don’t work, like if I go to my friends, and then click “everyone” to see everyone, instead of just friends with status updates, it does nothing…

I have same problem on Win 2K3 and XP SP3. Running Symantec AntiVirus, windows firewall, and the microsoft virus, outlook, on both machines.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:03 am
Yup, same issue for me. That’s one strike against Chrome. Didn’t have any issues like this with IE, Firefox, or Opera when I’ve installed any of them.
