[crx] external_extensions.json with multiple extensions

[markybob]

I have external_extensions.json working fine with just a single
extension, but whenever I try to have it load two extensions, none of
them end up loading even though they both work individually. Here is
my json and any help/suggestions would be appreciated (per
jsonlint.com it is valid json).

{
"ijdoblggemelaimffjccmdbmodlppofd": {
"external_crx": "\\\\192.168.6.7\\Utils\
\extension_1_12_6.crx",
"external_version": "1.12.6"
}
} ,
{
"edgbhipncfdgcekflcoelhmnkcfdfjcl": {
"external_crx": "\\\\192.168.6.7\\Utils\
\extension1_0_8_3.crx",
"external_version": "0.8.3"
}
}
]

Is 192.168.6.7 your local machine or a remote machine? Does it work if you put the files on your machine and use file paths instead of UNC paths?

Hello. I want to add an extension into Chrome via external_extensions.jsion file. i had edited this file and created a folder under "C:\Users\Win7-32bit\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions".

But it didn't work, my extension couldn't show on "chrome://extensions/".

If you know the reason, please help me.

I wanna install Chrome extension silently. But i can't use command line "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --load-extension="<extension folder path>". Because This extension didn't follow standard.

--------------------

// This json file will contain a list of extensions that will be included

// in the installer.

That file (external_extensions.json) was deprecated a long time ago on all platforms in favor of individual .json files (one per extension).

However, it looks like you are doing this on Windows and there the Registry method is the one that you should use, not the .json files.

You'll probably benefit from reading the docs on the external install method:

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions

One caveat though: Installing extensions in this way will trigger a prompt for the user to enable your extension. I do believe, though, that silent installs are supported through enterprise methods of installing extensions (group policy). More info here:
