Hi Sagar,

Do you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows machine?  
If you have installed Chrome 32-bit on the 64-bit Windows, Google Web Designer won't work.
Please follow the steps below:

1. Download the Chrome 64-bit 
2. Uninstall the current Chrome and install the new Chrome
3. Launch 64-bit Chrome
4. Remove GWD cache  \Users\<username> \AppData\Local\Google\Google Web Designer\data\cache
5. Relaunch GWD

Also, please make sure that GWD is installed in the default location.  
Hope this solves your issue.

Thanks,
Rika

Can you uninstall and install GWD with the steps below?

1. Uninstall GWD
2. Remove this folder if it exists:C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Google\Google Web Designer\data\cache
(note: you need to enable “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” in Folder options View tab)
3. Go to this registry and remove the entry if it exists: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/Web Designer, delete Web Designer.
4. Download GWD again and install

Hi Sagar,

Please answer a few more questions:

- Do you get any error when you are installing GWD?
- Do you have any antivirus software installed on your machine by any chance?
If so, please turn it off before installing GWD.  
- Do you see 1.3.5.0 folder and webdesigner.exe file under C:\Program Files\Google\Google Web Designer after the installation?
What is the size of the executable file?  Is it 1,457 KB?

Please let us know.

Thanks,
Rika

After you restored the system, have you applied all the latest Windows 7 patches?
