Edge Policy REQ: Allow Extensions from other stores
Having issues with this as well.
My goal is to silently install an extension from Chrome Web Store.
I have added to the Extension ID to the ExtensionInstallAllowlist.
Configured ExtensionInstallAllowlist to *
And added the Extension ID to ExtensionInstallForcelist.
But the extension isn't installed automatically.
If I do the same with an extension that is published in the Microsoft Edge Store, then its silently installed.
In addition I tried to manually configure ExtensionInstallSources via registry with https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/* and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/* but it didn't help.
The user can manually install the extension after enabling Allow extensions from other store.
Is there more to it?
We are looking for the same solution like in the Answers written before.
Our Company want a silent installation of one single Chrome Store Add-On by Policy on the customers computer.
This Add-On should not be editable or removable from customers side. Customer should also be able to install other Add-On from Edge and Chrome Store for his own.
We tested already the "ExtensionInstallSources" linked to Chrome Store and also the "ExtensionInstallForcelist" to the needed Add-On.
It was not working in our configuration.
There are a lot more articles about this topic inside the Web.
Is there actually a working solution for this?
Thank you for the reply.
ashishpoddar, sorry I misread it, so to give the full answer in-line installs are deprecated (sehttps://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/inline_installation/) and silent installs were deprecated even before that (see https://blog.chromium.org/2012/12/no-more-silent-extension-installs.html?m=1)

You are correct, the inline install method is not supported as per the link referred by you. However, note that inline installation is different from silent install.DataWarrior21 is it allowed at to have silent install at chrome? Reason for my ask is that google chrome deprecated this a while ago (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/inline_installation/).
