Trying to open a HTML file in chrome using sublime text

#1

Hi guys,
I would greatly appreciate some help. I am trying to open a HTML file in chrome using sublime text. I’ve followed the instructions and keep getting the error below.
I am using {
“cmd”: [“C://Program Files (x86)//Google//Chrome/Application//chrome.exe”, “$file”],
“selector”: “text.html”
}
I have tried using // and reversed slashes. Any suggestion?

[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd: [‘PATH_TO_CHROME_OR_FIREFOX’, ‘C:\Users\Marta\Desktop\HTML files\Chrome.sublime-build’]]
[dir: C:\Users\Marta\Desktop\HTML files]

cmd should be

"cmd": ["C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe", "$file"],

UPDATE: Wait… I tried the following works too. So there can be other reasons.

"cmd": ["C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe", "$file"],

Hi Jack,
I have tried both. Now a commandwindow appearsand quickly disappears and Chrome…sublime-build downloads onto my computer but i can’t open it as it has no associated app on the computer :confused:

An i have this error message:

dumb question:

Are you sure C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or your PATH_TO_CHROME_OR_FIREFOX exists?

It looks like the only way I can reproduce the same error msg is by providing a nonexistent executable.
