Comment #35 on issue 3126 by [email protected]: 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.
