Could you please be more specific about your issue?

Yo I have installed all browsers including Google Chrome, but in the menu to choose on which I have to use is not listed on Chrome.
I have checked the settings and enter the directory where you installed, but still not working.
Click on configure in Sahi Dashboard and mention the path of Google Chrome in BrowserTypes and save it . Restart Sahi.

Please
Kindly use this:

instead of :
<path>C:\Documents and Settings\x57083re\Configuracion local\Datos de programa\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe</path>

Sorry
Please try to answer the question from another post, is more important
Kindly try with this:
<path>"C:\\Documents and Settings\\x57083re\\Configuracion local\\Datos de programa\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"</path>
And even try using Command Prompt.

Can you post the output on the Sahi console?

Thats because we are from spain, and path contains an "ó" an o with an accent, this is my patch
<path>C:\Documents and Settings\abueno\Configuración local\Datos de programa\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe</path>
with this one when you start sahi gives an error, thats because of the ó of "Configuración"
but if you try using only o instead of ó:
<path>C:\Documents and Settings\abueno\Configuracion local\Datos de programa\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe</path>
doesnt display chrome in dashboard because it cant find it
how can we solve it?
thanks
Adding accent should be considered a valid path for Sahi.
Can you post the output of the Sahi console?

Then I restart Sahi Dashboard and where browsers are displayed say this:¨
No usable browsers found in browser_types.xml
Click on the Configure link below to add/edit browsers
If you go another time to configure, yo can see this: Configuraci�n

Reading browser types from: C:\Documents and Settings\abueno\sahi\userdata\confi
g\browser_types.xml
You're right. Looks like there is a problem when you configure browser_types.xml from the dashboard.
For the time being, open sahi/userdata/config/browser_types.xml with any editor and modify the path to Chrome. Restart Sahi.
Check if this solves the problem.

I opened with notepad++ and configured with the ó, but when I open dashboard I have the same problem, i go to configure an another time I see �, with notepad I see ó.
Any idea?
You have to open sahi/userdata/config/browser_types.xml with windows notepad, and save as: use same name and type of file, but in codification use UTF-8 instead of ANSI.
Now with UTF-8 works perfect with the ó.
Thanks for the program.
