How to locate Google Chrome extension dir

问题

Hi i'm installing extensions by programmatically by a little c# program.

I just did see the software doesn't work on my friend.

i did see his chrome directory is not at %appdata% folder its at program files?

so how to find the real latest version of chrome directory for install plugins?

Google says

 Windows: 
 chrome_root\Application\chrome_version\Extensions\ 
 Example: c:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\6.0.422.0\Extensions\

but how to find the chrome_root?

回答1:

1. Visit chrome://version.
2. Look at Profile Path.
3. Extensions can be found in the Extensions subdirectory of the path you found at the previous step.

You can also load the extension using the --load-extension flag:

chrome.exe --load-extension=path/to/extension

回答2:

The recommended mechanism for installing extensions programmatically is external extensions. It has the advantage of not depending on Chrome paths that might change, instead you can use a stable registry key or JSON file.
