Why won't Google Chrome install on my Windows 7?
- by quakkels
I can tell something is wrong with my computer.
A little history: Google Chrome was not running correctly. When i was using facebook, any link on face that ran an ajax javascript function would not work. No error was being thrown, it just wasn't working.
I uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled it. On re-install, a toolbar automatically installed with Chrome. BitTorrentBar. I did not install BitTorrentBar, it installed on it's own. Bad.
When BitTorrentBar was active, then ajax functions on facebook worked. When I deactivated or uninstalled BittorrentBar from Chrome extensions, then ajax stopped working.
I ran scanned the computer with Avast (free version) and SpyBot Search and Destroy (also free). They found nothing wrong.
I uninstalled Chrome using Control Panel and then I went through my file system deleting anything that had "google", "BitTorrent", "chrome", or "conduit". Conduit seems to distribute BitTorrentBar.
After doing all that, I tried to reinstall Chrome. I got this error:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at ClickOnceBootStrap.ClickOnceEntry.Main()
This error interupts the Chrome install every time! computer scans don't show anything wrong.
So then, I thought this might be a .net framework error. Perhaps I deleted something I wasn't supposed to. So I reinstalled .NET Framework 4 and checked the repair option. I also ran Windows Updates.
When I tried to download Chrome, again I got the same error as listed above.
What should I do?
