Does anyone know an alternate to RUNSHELLOPEN to open chrome links in EMR?
With Windows 2012, EMR no longer opens Chrome links. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

Is it possible to correct this by going into (on your PC Windows) Control Panel, Default Programs, Set Associations?
Wonder if the link is corrupt.
By the way, not aware of anything other than RUNSHELLOPEN.

Unfortunately tried that 🙁 Tried different links too and Chrome doesn't work at all, regardless of the link. Thank you for your suggestion though!

Are you using any flags with the execute command?
IE:
RUNSHELLOPEN("chrome.exe", "--allow-no-sandbox-job --disable-gpu --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash https://google.co m", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application")
Does that work?

Did not work unfortunately 🙁 But thanks for the suggestion!

That is an interesting error. What happens if you try to run it as a command line (RUN), completely removing the EMR from the equation?
If it fails there, I would suspect either a registry or dll registration issue is causing the problem...

I'm afraid I can't explain all the technical aspects, but I know we had trouble at first when using the chrome.exe command because we had not installed chrome on the actual GEDB (it was part of all the users group policy, but not on the server itself). In addition, when we installed it on the test server...it was somehow done under my individual account and not using admin. So on a form we created, I was the only one who could use the links that were to open in chrome. Once we uploaded chrome with the admin account then everyone could open the link. I'm sure I'm not explaining it as our network administrator would, but I hope it's enough to help if that's the issue.
