New issue 7576 by [email protected]: When not specified as default browser on install, Chrome does not register with Windows correctly (Vista+) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7576 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Insall and uncheck "Make Chrome default browser" 2. Open Start->Default Programs What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Chrome should be available from the Windows dialog, and one should be able to set Chrome as the default browser. Chrome does not install its class and capability information (HKLM\Software\Classes\chrome.exe). Further, it does not register itself as an application "Software\RegisteredApplications" and is hence invisible to Windows Internet Options dialog. Not checking the button should simply not change the "UserChoice" values (in Vista) and not register as a protocol handler. However it should still register the class and capability information. Without it, the only means of making Chrome the default browser is to do it through Chrome:Wrench- >Options. This works properly in XP. It seems there this an inappropriate code fork in the install logic.
