The code that the original poster shared and the code that is available in your blog are pretty much the same. Do you want help elaborate as to how does following your blog help the original poster solve their problem ? 

It is good that you are trying to help people, but please do take a few extra moments to suggest relevant information to a query so that the person who is asking the question wouldnt feel like he or she is just on a wild goose chase.

Magesh,

You should try going through this google forum thread and see if the suggestions mentioned in it will help you : https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/tmUwL7flQGk (especially the response provided by Ace Johns)

Thanks & Regards

Hi Magesh,

Have you got answer to your query?
Actually i was also facing the similar issue on my windows 8 machine.
and finally the problem that i found was there were two chrome exe at two different locations on my machine.
1. C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application
2. C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application
That is why the problem was occuring. Once i renamed the Chrome folder of local i.e. (C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application) to something like (C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome_NEW\Application), the  problem disappeared and chrome browser launched successfully.

Hope this helps.
