Error communicating with native host: Error when communicating with the native messaging host.

[Jagadeesh Murali]

Hi all,
   I am facing the above error when i try to read a message from my chrome-extension. I have my executable file in the exact path of manifest registered to my windows regedit.

I was successfully able to start the app from command line.

My flow has to go like below

chrome extension reads tab events -> for a specific tab title, i have to trigger my electron app -> electron app listens for messages from extension -> perform actions in my chrome window

My code is successfully executed in mac machines but fails with windows

That error means that your native host is sending a message to the extension in the wrong format.

Here are some troubleshooting tips:
