Chrome on Windows 7 64bit

Hello,

 

I am having trouble getting Google Chrome to capture correctly.  I tried the download from here and that does not run either.

 

Here's the process:

I'm using virtualbox VM's so I create a new install of windows 7x64.

Clone that VM, and capture the Chrome install on it.  The captured Chrome application will work on that machine.

 

I create a 2nd clone of the original VM, copy the captured Chrome application to that machine and when I run it all I get is a blank Chrome window.  Cannot browse to anything.

 

I have tried changing permissions on the exe file with no luck.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

There is a known issue with getting virtualized Chrome to work on x64 because of a security feature within Chrome.  Running virtualized Chrome without Chrome's sandbox seems to work, but I don't know that I recommend it, because it could be defeating a security feature of Chrome.

If you are interested in testing it, try this from the command line: chrome.cameyo.exe -exec chrome.exe --no-sandbox

I suggest copying and pasting to be sure to get the spacing correct.

Sorry for the long delay, life gets in the way sometimes...

 

Anyhow, that command works and Chrome loads.  It throws an error about operating in an unsupported configuration or something similar, but then it seems to work fine.

 

Thanks for the advice!
