    private static string ChromeAppFileName
    {
        get
        {
            return (string) (Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" + ChromeAppKey, "", null) ??
                                Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER" + ChromeAppKey, "", null));
        }
    }

    public static void OpenLink(string url)
    {
        string chromeAppFileName = ChromeAppFileName;
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(chromeAppFileName))
        {
            throw new Exception("Could not find chrome.exe!");
        }
        Process.Start(chromeAppFileName, url);
    }
}

HI Fredrikhaglund,
can you some help .. I want google chrome in my windows application

Great~!!!

Why don't you want to use single one line
Process.Start("chrome.exe", url);
instead?

Because that requires the Chrome folder being in the PATH environment variable

Works great thanks!
