Failed to open database: IO error: .../LOCK: File currently in use.

[IL55]

Hi,

I tried to build SVN 169807, (I think it is last official Google Chrome release).
After install chromium via mini installer I see next error messages in log (via sawbuck).

ERROR    2468    5856    09:34:36-599        0    Failed to read master_preferences file at C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Chromium\Application\master_preferences. Falling back to default preferences.

Is that errors are critical ?

Thanks,

Seems like another Chrome process is already using the same profile directory. Try launching with --user-data-dir=c:\some\other\directory\here.

Thanks for you answer,

When I start this cmd
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\some\other\directory\here
no these errors appear

but when I start with --first-run (I suppose it is simulation of first start after installation)
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\some\other\directory\here --first-run

I see the same:

I believe you're seeing http://crbug.com/163925.

Thanks, http://crbug.com/163925 is the same problem which I described here.
