问题
I have an application that also has a firefox and chrome extension. I am using NSIS for the installer, now I want the installer to have checkboxs asking if the user want to install the extension for his browser.
To install the firefox extension it's easy I just copy the extension files to PROGRAMFILES\Mozilla Firefox\extensions{GUID}, but I couldn't find a way I could do it for chrome (from the NSIS installer).
Does someone knows how to achieve this?
Update:
External Extensions
Thanks what I needed. (I couldn't answer my own question yet because I have to wait 8 hours for not having 100 rep)

!define PRODUCT_VERSION "1.0.0"
!define CRXNAME "extension.crx"
!define CRXID "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File "${CRXNAME}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions\${CRXID}" "path" "$INSTDIR\${CRXNAME}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions\${CRXID}" "version" "${PRODUCT_VERSION}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions\${CRXID}" "path" "$INSTDIR\${CRXNAME}"
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions\${CRXID}" "version" "${PRODUCT_VERSION}"

The only way I could think of is to open Chrome for the user at the specific URL where the extension is located. Of course some user instructions beforehand. A more evil way would be to do the SendKey events for the user. Depends how much "dancing with the devil" you are up for ;)
