Hello!

I want to use a chrome extension that solves hcaptcha on studio web remote

I don’t seem to be able to use ui automation to click “install” on the chrome extension, but am able to install it in the chromium browser if I take control on the remote viewing, but I want this to be automatic.

How could I go about impletmenting installing this 3rd party chrome extension into my automation

@TritonJK,

I saw your another posts related to this and feels your desperation to get this working. Honestly I never worked on this kind of scenario but try these steps if not tried already.

To install a third-party Chrome extension using UiPath, you can automate the process of adding the extension to your Chrome browser. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Download the Extension: First, download the third-party Chrome extension (.crx file) from the official Chrome Web Store or any other trusted source.

  2. Open Chrome Browser: Use the “Open Browser” activity in UiPath to open a new Chrome browser window.

  3. Navigate to Chrome Extensions: Use the “Navigate To” activity to navigate to the Chrome Extensions page. You can use the URL: chrome://extensions/.

  4. Enable Developer Mode: Check the “Developer mode” checkbox on the Chrome Extensions page. This allows you to manually load unpacked extensions.

  5. Install the Extension: Use the “Click” activity to click on the “Load unpacked” button. This will open a file dialog.

  6. Select the Extension File: Use the “Type Into” or “Click” activity to interact with the file dialog and select the downloaded extension (.crx file).

  7. Confirm Installation: Once the extension is selected, use the appropriate activities to click on the “Open” or “OK” button to confirm the installation.

  8. Verify Installation: Optionally, you can verify that the extension has been successfully installed by checking for the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar or by navigating to chrome://extensions/.

Please dont create multiple topics about same…

To install on remote sever which is a cloud vm from UiPath you need to request UiPath to get it installed

Sorry buddy not working for me either. So this is not a viable solution. :frowning:

Have you tried to get the selectors for that particular checkbox? If you can login to that machine where you are getting the checkbox, you can install UiPath Remote Runtime and get the selectors of that checkbox.

Thanks,
