Extension ID () is blocked by administrator

[Vivekanand Poojari]

We have a chrome extension, which we earlier used to install it through the"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions" key. However we now use the enterprise policy"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist".

After this migration on some machines we are not able to install the extension. When we manually drag the extension to chrome://extensions we get an error "Extension ID () is blocked by administrator"

As a workaround we have asked users to uninstall chrome and install it again. After re-install chrome reloads the new enterprise extension.

I have tried to enable verbose logging but I don't see any logs.

What is the reason for this behavior?

Can we override some setting which would make the enterprise extension to always install?

Thanks Vivekanand

Could you file a bug at http://crbug.com/? I see several things we
shouldn't be doing.
