    When google chrome starts, it displays the "aie aie aie" error message in background, while a system message box entitled "chrome.exe" sais something like "Application couldn't initialize correclty. error 0x00000005 (5)" with only one button : OK.
    Please notice that chrome is compatible with my antivirus solution for using it on other machines with the same antivir program, and that I have all .NET framework distrbutions and updates installed correctly (working with in other apps)

There are two main reasons for error 0x00000005, the first and easier one is that you computer doesn't have Microsoft.NET framework, you should install it.

The second reason is with some protection programs, I had a problem with Symantec Endpoint, and this is what I did to solve error 0x00000005 –

1) Click on "Start" > Control Panel

2) Chose "Add/Remove Programs"

3) Remove "Symantec Endpoint Protection"
Take Google Chrome for a spin now see if it works.

All the best,
B.

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).
When attempting to run Microsoft .Net based applications, you may get the following error on startup:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)
The cause of this error is that the Microsoft .Net framework is not installed or is damaged in some way. Therefore applications will fail to launch.
To fix this error you can run Windows Update and find the Microsoft .Net framework update to install. Alternatively, you can download the Microsoft .Net Framework directly from Microsoft.
