I've been using Google Chrome (single user version) since a long time on my laptop (Windows Vista). But recently, I thought of installing the alternate version (available for all user accounts) from here. Now, Every time I'm starting Chrome, The following dialog box pops up...

Does anyone know how to rectify this ??

1) Win Vista sux
2) Looks like it cannot access C drive. (Try running as admin)
3) Choose another directly
4) If everything else fails then re-installl

Can I get a little more help on this...

Did you try re-installing and opening as admin?
