Windows Registry location for Google Chrome version
google-chrome, registry, version, windows
Solution
It could be that your installation of google chrome is somehow messed up. I do have this registry key and it contains two values with the current version number.
Another way although not through the registry would be to check the folders in Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application. I have a folder with the latest version number in there. (and a folder with an older version).
AND I found something in the registry which might also work on every client: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID{5C65F4B0-3651-4514-B207-D10CB699B14B}\LocalServer32 The values there contain the version number in the path.
Problem
Where does Google Chrome store its version information locally? I'm developing a Lua script to access application version information found in the Windows registry, but can't find a registry key associated with the current installed version of Google Chrome Browser. The closest I've found was this, which indicates that the version info can be found at ` HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome`. However, on my system, there is no `Google Chrome` subkey under `Uninstall` in the `HKCU` hive or corresponding `HKEY_USERS` paths. Any thoughts?
