Hello,

I'm new to all this so can't offer any technical explanations but basically view in browser won't open up in chrome, its fine with firefox and IE.

I changed the 'default browser' (for the ctrl + alt + v command) from firefox to chrome in the general settings file however this didn't change anything.

How can I go about fixing this? What data from my computer is relevant for the problem to be diagnosed?

Thanks a lot for your time

Jack

What operating system and version of Sublime are you using?

Jakkc commented

I use windows 8 with sublime 2.0.2

If it helps, I had problems yesterday getting package control to work so had to install plug-ins manually. I found this problem was caused by a copy of norton I had installed which was also causing the 'unable to connect to network' problem in Chrome.

After uninstalling norton I could use package control from within sublime and Chrome started working again, I am now using bitdefender as my anti-virus. Could the problem be stemming from this?

Did you install Chrome using the web-based installer or the alternate offline installer? What directory is your Chrome installed to?

Hi, I was facing the same problem but I found that there's chrome.exe file on 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application' in case of Windows 8(x64).
And I also found that even in case of my another Windows 7(x86), the same directory has chrome.exe (only "Program Files (x86)" turns into "Program Files").
It means the value of "command" on "View In Browser.sublime-settings" is wrong, I think.
Because when I changed

{
    "osname": "nt",
    "platform": "win32",
    "command": "%Local AppData%/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
}

into

    "command": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"

it worked well.

That's interesting yours showed up in that location. Mine was in my APPDATA location. Either way you should be able to override the location in your user settings file.

In the latest 2.0.0 release I have added a browser named chrome64 that will use that path.
