Where to locate .exe/.msi
I'm trying to install adblock plus with GPO, by installing the .msi/exe files. But I"ve only been able to find those for IE, and still searching for chrome and firefox versions.

There's no such thing. Chrome extensions are CRX files, while Firefox extensions are XPI files.

Thanks
Re: Where to locate .exe/.msi
the ID should be included in the store url for the extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fddb?hl=en
so ==>
for the update url: You find this info in the manifest.json of the extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fddb?hl=en

This is what I put in notepad++ and saved as .reg file. But it keeps saying "you can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor"

Re: Where to locate .exe/.msi
Ok so that executed successfully, but it didn't actually work, it was a success as far as installing in .reg, but nothing came out of it, do I have to reinstall chrome? Please don't give me a link, I'd prefer an explanation rather then searching through he link if possible. thanks
Re: Where to locate .exe/.msi
Did you create the entry like here ? (I don't see the double quote and I see also something like ?response=redirect& )
http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/ ... lForcelist

Code: Select all

Re: Where to locate .exe/.msi
I tried to copy/paste exactly what you said and I see in my registry that the entry is there but it says no value set. I don't know if that is normal or not.
