How to install Chrome Extensions with MSIX
Hello, We have a Desktop app that communicates with a Chrome Extension. Our old *.exe installer is able to install both the desktop app and the Chrome Extension in the user machine properly. It uses the Windows Registry, as described in the https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/external_extensions/#registry to install the Chrome Extension during the installation process. We tried to generate a msix package from the old *.exe using the msix packaging tool on windows 10 but it didn't work. In summary, to install a Chrome Extension, we need to add Registry Key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions So, when the Browser starts it checks all the keys under that location and updates or downloads the extensions accordingly. how the MSIX can handle this use case?Solved6.2KViews1like3Comments
