Crashed report ID: No.  Chrome has been uninstalled

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes Version previous to 12/1/16 update worked throughout the day.  Chrome autoupdated and then crashed. Uninstalled, reinstalled three times, continued to crash each time

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.75  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 7 Home Premium
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

My entire business is chrome-oriented.  All of my work-tabs are saved in Google Dashboard.  Need Chrome back ASAP.  Previous version would be OK, but I cannot locate how to get that version back.
 
Actually unknown Flash version

 harry.elston@ if possible can you please provide the crash_id's which can be found at "chrome://crashes" to further debugg. 
No.  I cannot.  Chrome crashes before it starts.  chrome://crashes does not
work in Firefox.  CHROME WILL NOT EVEN START before it is crashed.
No, I cannot.  Chrome crashes even before it starts with a big "Chrome has stopped working" immediately on install.  
Sorry to ask so many checks if possible can you please try steps from our Help center article(Fix problems if Chrome won't open at all) which can be found here and let us know if that helps, I am trying to reproduce at my end but so far no luck :

No joy on any fix on the list.  Here's a screenshot of what I'm getting

Thanks for trying to debug it with us, and sorry for the hassle.

Normally, if you'd opted in to sharing crash data, it would be uploaded so I could investigate, but because it's crashing so early, it's not doing that in this case.

I've attached a .reg file that will add a key to your registry. If you could try this:
- Download and double click the attached .reg file (it'll add a key that makes Windows save a dump file)
- Run chrome 55 again (it'll still crash)
- Win+R and enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps

Then there should be a .dmp file in that directory. If you could attach that .dmp file here or email it to scottmg@chromium.org, that would be very helpful.

Thanks again.

Oh, shoot, sorry! You might have to first make that directory, if you open %LOCALAPPDATA% and then create a new folder there called "CrashDumps" (no space) and then try again?

(This is why we try to automate this normally, very tedious to do manually!)
Please send me the complete path if you can

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. You mean the path to %LOCALAPPDATA%?

It depends on your user name. For me it's

"C:\Users\scott\AppData\Local"

but the "scott" part depends on your Windows user name.
I'm away from the computer for the rest of the day.  Will attend to this
tomorrow.

No problem, thanks for looking.

One suspicion we have is anti-virus. You might want to try updating or temporarily disabling your anti-virus (Avast?).
I run Avast.  I disabled it and still got the crash.  I did not uninstall
it,  nor will I.  I'll have to switch to Mozilla permanently if that is the
case.

OK, thanks for confirm that, it's useful to know that switching it off temporarily didn't help.
Ok -back on it.  So, I created the directory (shown in the screenshot), tried to open Chrome (failure), then Win+R+%LOCALAPPDATA% and received the same error (shown).  I opened the Directory (shown) and it's empty.  Next?

Sorry this issue hasn't gotten any attention in a while. Did you eventually resolve the issue?
I think it got resolved after a few updates from Chrome.  Go ahead and
close it out.  I've been using Chrome for over a year now without any
problems.
