Edge extension deployment ifrom local file system
Microsoftshatvani Hello! Looking at the extension documentation, it only mentions being on a local machine when in developer mode (sideload the extension).
- Publish and update extensions in the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Docs
- Sideload an extension - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Docs
Specifically when using ExtensionInstallForcelist the documentation lists the following hosting locations Microsoft Edge Add-ons store, Chrome Web Store, and your own server.

Kelly_Y Hi,
Now I created a file share in Azure where I uploaded an extension from Store so what is sure to be good.
Then I created its registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions\glmijebempncfacedohfpiihhnmebbpj with value update_url = https://hatvaniextensions.file.core.windows.net/addon/Redirect-to-en-us-version-of-Microsoft-Docs.crx.
I took the information of this deployment from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/alternate-distribution-options
But nothing happened. 😞

shatvani Hi!

My understanding of this article you referenced is that you need to use the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website.
If you have the extension hosted somewhere I believe you should be able to use the ExtensionInstallForcelist policy. Use group policies to manage Microsoft Edge extensions | Microsoft Docs
More information about self-hosting an extension here: Self-host Microsoft Edge extensions | Microsoft Docs
