I can't answer about IE addons (presumably yes), but an installer can instruct Chrome to install the extension on next launch via registry. The user will be propmted to allow it.

Note that the extension must be hosted on Chrome Web Store (but may be published as "Unlisted"). You cannot programmatically install it from any other source.

  • Hi, thanks for your help. but i want both the IE add on and the chrome extension to be installed along with my app. i mean the MSI will install my native app + IE Add on + Google chrome extension – yo2011 Apr 26 '16 at 15:13
  • I don't see why not. – Xan Apr 26 '16 at 15:15
  • my question is that possible with the WIX toolset. if yes, could give me sample code or configuration to do that? – yo2011 Apr 26 '16 at 15:17
  • You are asking whether it can do so. I can only answer for Chrome (answer is "yes") and I can't provide any WIX-specific sample, but the link to the docs I gave you should give you the idea of what needs to be done. – Xan Apr 26 '16 at 15:26
  • i will try and give you my feedback – yo2011 Apr 26 '16 at 15:29
  • For Chrome, it's literally as simple as writing a few keys to the registry. Chrome will check them on launch and do the rest. – Xan Apr 26 '16 at 15:30
