I have my chrome extension for my website, I want to make a windows installer for it. I used NSIS but it just copied the files and it does not appear in the extensions list. I have seen earlier a software , namely , lastpass which installs the extensions to different browsers. I have also used crossrider.com but my extension did not work. Can any one please tell me how to make a windows installer for my chrome extension

Windows-Installer doesn't refer to any installation technology on the windows platform. – Christopher Painter May 13 '13 at 19:12

Have you tried the methods in http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions.html? – sowbug May 14 '13 at 17:51

If you are using Crossrider for your extension, you can create an installer by going to the Settings > Windows Installer page, selecting Bundle Chrome (and Bundle Firefox if required), saving the changes, and then clicking Download Installer.

actually when I try to upload my extension it does not upload and when I just past it manually and install it, it does not work – Sirine Hlima May 13 '13 at 15:34

OK, so the first step would be to get the extension working in Crossrider's framework, then you can try my answer :-) For the first step, as a Crossrider employee, I would suggest you email our support channel (support@crossrider.com) and we'll be happy to assist you in porting your extension. – Shlomo May 13 '13 at 15:42
