Install Chrome extension through windows registry from chrome web store

[Abdul Basit Awan]

I want to install a Chrome extension through the Windows Registry. I have added the new registry key like this. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432node/Google/Chrome/Extensions/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc under this I make two string values. name type data ---------------------------------- update_url REG_SZ {"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"} version REG_SZ 0.0.32.2 And then I restart the chrome but no extension is installed why ? I read a question on stackoverflow about this but I can't understand which value I set to update_url. here is a Question read it What I done wrong ? For better understanding about registry key please see this image. See this image

That question has an accepted answer that tells you you should just set the URL and not a JSON string as the value.

Also, are you using 64 bit Chrome (using 64 bit Windows does not necessarily mean that you are using 64 bit Chrome)? If not, use the other key path -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions

But is it hosted on the web store (that update URL is of the web store)?
