Uninstall, download installer again and redo it from scratch. Probably got a corrupt installer.

Is this your first install of Chrome on this computer?
Are you using a software firewall other than the Windows Firewall?
Are you viewing the process list of all users?

Are you using an antivirus and is it active? Maybe antivirus is somehow blocking Chrome from opening. Take a look at this link for info about that.

Have you looked at the folder properties where you installed Chrome? It may not have sufficient rights.

You tried turning off antivirus too (only temporarily, as a test)?

If it is still installed, remove again and try to find and delete all remnants. Install fresh but this time choose a new location to install it to. If it prompts to install to the same add a 1 to the folder name.
