Chrome doesn't start in Windows 8, gives an error message "Class not registered"


Using Windows 8 and trying to start Google Chrome from the start menu fails, doesn't show any error or open the browser. When double clicked on the desktop, it says


Class not registered

When I run the program as an administrator it works. How to get it working?


The class isn't registered


Answer



Sathya's answer worked temporarily but it got annoying not to have Chrome as the default browser. Links didn't work in other programs and so on.


Reinstalling Windows 8 worked. The upgrade process from Windows 7 had messed up something.
