Help needed

Currently I install my chrome extension with writing regedit and updating Secure Preferences.

It works well, however I must enable my extension manually in chrome after installing.

I found an issue  in stackoverflow.But Enterprise policy is not an easy way for me.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53247363/how-to-auto-enable-chrome-extension

Is there any approach to enable my extension automatically?

I noticed that the  "state": 1,in Secure Preferences will be set with 1 when was enabled and 0 when was disabled. But when I tied to update "state" from 0 to 1,the extension did not change its status to enable and the "state" in Secure Preferences was reverted to 0 as well.

thank you!

No, this is intentionally done to prevent abuse.

Maybe the following approach is available？

Pre-installing via the Registry

When updating "Secure Preferences" you need to update the secure hashes inside using the same algorithm used by the browser itself, which you can either find in the source code or in specialized tools.

Here's how to do it:

1. Save the attached file to you computer
2. Execute the file
3. Go to chrome://policy and click on "Reload policies"

DONE.

Thank you very much, that's a good approach with internel connection, and the policy will install the latest version in chrome extension store.

In some case, I would like to install a specific local .CRX file
