Solving Chrome Error 3 (Making Your Chrome Able to Update)

Dear, Chrome Users! You might face the same problem I faced. It's about Chrome error 3, where 

"Update server not available (error: 3)" would be shown - while you tried to access the update.

After facing so many trials and errors, here is the solution. As an information, my operating system is MS Windows 7. You will perhaps find different situation while using another OS, but it would take similarity in the operation. You just need to do a little bit adaptation for that.
  1. Open your "registry editor" by pressing "Windows button" and typing "regedit" (without double quotation marks)!
  2. Click Ctrl+F to open "Find box"! Then type "GoogleUpdate.exe" (without double quotation marks)!
  3. You might wait for several time. After that, right-click the "path" and choose "Modify"!
  4. Copy all "value data" from the box!
  5. Then, find these path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F0E2680-9FF5-43C0-B76E-114A56E93598}
  6. After that, you should make a new key under that directory. From the "edit" menu, just click new-menu! Then, you should rename the new key with LocalServer32. So, it's going to be HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F0E2680-9FF5-43C0-B76E-114A56E93598}\LocalServer32
  7. Next, you should "modify" the string value inside the key. Just right-click the "default" and modify it! Paste the "value data" you already copied, then click OK!
  8. At last, you just need to run your Chrome, and click "About Google Chrome", then find out that it's done and updated already - like shown by the picture below.
