Package is invalid: 'CRX_HEADER_INVALID'.

[toxicGumballz]

Hi all,

I've created over 1000 themes for Chrome since 2010 and now, I get this error when dropping my .crx's on to the //extension page.

Package is invalid: 'CRX_HEADER_INVALID'.

Even the themes (about 30 of them) that I created only 2 months ago no longer work.

I had re-used a few images of (said themes above) them and packaged them up again, they worked. ???

I checked the new-re packaged themes and compared them to the ones I made 2 months ago (and back a little longer)

and to be honest, I can not see any difference in the manifest file ?

This all being said... please please please, do not tell me that I have to sit here and re-package all my Chrome themes ?

NOTE:
These themes are for people to download off my own site, due to Chrome Web Store not allowing them.

Any suggestions please ?

You just have to re-package them because the CRX format (not the manifest) has changed.

You can probably automate the process.

nice one, thank you very much Phistuck.

Not sure how to automat the process, like a batch process or something ? however.. I just had a horrible thought run through my head lol
... I now have to (once they have been re-packaged) upload them all again and change the links :(

(note to self: just name them the same, overwrite old .crx file with new ones... fingers crossed it works)

Thanks again Phistuck.

Yes, using batch or something similar.

For each file in the folder of CRXs and PEMs -

- Extract foo.crx to folder foo (using the 7-zip command line, for example)

- Go to some other folder (the output folder) and run chrome --pack-extension="path-to-foo-folder" --pack-extension-key="path-to-foo.pem"

- Go back to the folder of CRXx and PEMs

- Delete folder foo
