Has anyone else had trouble thinapping the Latest Google Chrome? I am having inconsistent results on launch.
Ultimately, I need a Google Chrome build with an app link to Java 7.25. However, I cant seem to reliably get vanilla Chrome to launch everytime.
Symptom: (majority of the time when launched) I launch the program and it thinks for about 2 seconds, then starts to not respond (the gray circle on the first tab freezes, then about 30seconds later, or when I click on the window the title Bar flips to not responding) I can still kill the window with the red X and most times everything closes in Task Manager (no stray google chrome processes....if there is, I kill those).
Regardless, if it closes everything or there is a stray process, It will usually present the same behavior (9/10 times). Every now and then, I *DO* get it to launch and can hit several different websites with no issues. If I close the program (and verify that all Chrome Processes are dead) and relaunch, it may, or may not work again.
I'm going to attempt to try to outline my troubleshooting process below. Take note, that I have tried adding or not adding the various things below. Most all present the behavior described above and in other articles.
Before you ask.
Yes I have see some of the othere posts regarding Chrome. Including the PDF for getting 20 to work.
Using Merged Isolation Mode (I assume, as that I think that is the default in the build process)
My Package.INI I add:
1) SetVirtualModuleFileNameInPeb=1
I have added it to General Parameters as both the very first line and the very last line under General Parameters.
2) Additionally, under [Google Chrome.exe] I may add the lines to connect to the Java applink.
3) As well as CommandLine=%ProgramFilesDir%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --no-sandbox --disable-flash-sandbox.
4) I've used both/either google chrome. exe and just chrome.exe as the entry point. I let it use a .DAT and have also tried using one of the entry points as the thinapp.
Nothing is reliably changing the build behavior.
Right now, I'm not adding anything fancy. So I'm not adding the CommandLine (#3 above), or trying to applink. Just trying to get a vanilla Chrome to work with the SetVirtual<blahblah> added to general parameters as the only edit on the .INI
I have also tried just adding to the desktop short cuts (post build and install: --no-sandbox --disable-flash-sandbox
When I add those, to the end of the target box on the shortcuts, chrome tends to run the very first time, after doing that. Guaranteed to run exactly ONCE. After that, it is inconsistent. I do notice that if I EVER click the yellow box saying chrome turned off the sandbox the next open, (and subsequent few) ALWAYS fails (10/10). If i never close the yellow box, it just usually fails (7/10 times). THen behavior returns to failing 9/10 times when opening the Chrome THinapp
I may have missed a few of the previously recommended tips. I'm pretty sure I have tried nearly every combonationi can think of.
I reliably built a chrome thinapp a few months ago following the adding of SetVirtualModule in the package.ini. However that capture and build is long gone, and I had not yet successfully attempted to build an applink to Java.
What Am I missing?
