Comment #12 on issue 2008 by mflerackers: On About Google Chrome page ... Update Server Not Available (error: 3) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2008
The origin of this bug is that the long (non-dos) path is used in the registry, and the com service cannot find googleupdate.exe if the path contains spaces The help at http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=111996 metions that you need to check the path of the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F0E2680-9FF5-43C0-B76E-114A56E93598}\LocalServer32 But even if it points to the correct location, if the path contains speaces it won't work. You can fix it by making the path in the default key into a short (dos) path, so instead of: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe make it C:\DOCUME~1\ yourusername\LOCALS~1\APPLIC~1\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe This way the DCOM service can find the exe and load it if needed. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
