Comment #35 on issue 3126 by m...@chromium.org: Open link in live messenger will launch chrome.exe but chrome window cannot show http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3126 Chrome.exe is launched as a child of msnmsgr.exe. I seem to recall problems with msnmsgr.exe and launching the default browser in another life, but I think that had to do with DDE. Perhaps it's possible that messenger is expecting to launch us with some sort of WM_HIDDEN and then send a DDE show command to show the window? (Theory clearly based on no knowledge of the WM_ options to create window nor any knowledge of DDE.) On my testing on XP, the first invocation launches a hidden browser and renderer process. The command lines look proper in ProcExp. Subsequent invocations launch visible tabs in the same process hierarchy. I don't see another browser window instance start. Someone needs to trace msnmsgr.exe's shellex/createprocess code to see how it's launching us. Assigning to nsylvain and cc'ing some people who have dealt with this sort of problem before. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
