In my case, the dialog point to the specific folder. Then I go to the SystemTemp and grant the permission as well as uncheck "Read-only" option. This work for me without re-install nor delete register key.

If you are using Windows:

  1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Google
  2. Right-click on the "Chrome" folder
  3. Go to the "Security" tab
  4. Click on "Edit..." button -> "Add..."
  5. Type Everyone -> "OK" -> "OK"
  6. Click on "Advanced"
  7. At the end of the "Owner" field, click on blue "Change" word
  8. Type Everyone -> "OK" -> "OK" -> "OK"

I was facing this same issue for months, and now I have solved it.

  1. First uninstall Chrome then go to C:\Program Files to double-check and hence delete the 'Google' folder if it still remains.
  2. Then press Windows+R and type in regedit to enter into Registry Editor.
  3. Now locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Google and delete the Google folder. In case you don't find the folder, just delete any Google folder you come across under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
  4. Almost Done! Now download Chrome from it's website, install it and give it a try.

It will work normally when you log in as administrator. If not you can simply change the "chmod" of the directory to 777. it will work.

This worked for me on Windows 7.

Go to the file given in the error message:

c\users\[username]\application data\local\google\chrome
  • right click the chrome file
  • share with-specific people
  • use drop down arrow in top box and choose your username ie give yourself permission to share the file.
  • add
  • confirm.

Message says its been done,

  • close.

Chrome then opens without having to open it as administrator after every boot-up.

For the time being, you can create a android emulator. You don't need chrome for that.

It seems your Chrome user data directory might be corrupted, try following and see whether it helps:

  1. Take the back-up of bookmarks (if you want to back-up the data)
  2. Delete C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome folder
  3. Uninstall Chrome
  4. Reinstall Chrome
