Install UiPath extension for Chrome and Edge with Online option

Help Studio
1

Hello,

I have installed UiPath Studio 2022 without checking the options of UiPath extension for Chrome/Edge. I have configured GPO to install and enable Chrome/Edge directly from Google/MS stores. The question is, do I also need to go to “add/remove” from Windows to change (select extension options" in order for the UiPath extensions to work properly with Chrome/Edge?

Thank You!

Thanks @marian.platonov. However, I was asking for the “online” method (link below) using GPO and not using the offline, MSI or command lines

Well not really once u have installed the extension it will get enabled and from there you can use for web automation
To install you can go via studio itself as a simple step

  1. Open Studio.
  2. Navigate to Home > Tools > UiPath Extensions.

For complete uninstallation of the extension

The UiPath Extension for Chrome can be uninstalled by running from an elevated command prompt:

&"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /chromecleanup /silent

You can also uninstall by opening Studio, navigating to Home > Tools > UiPath Extensions, and selecting Chrome > Uninstall. The extension will be uninstalled with the same method used for the installation. This method is displayed in the disabled drop-down next to the Uninstall button.

For the Online installation via Web Store

The Group Policy Online installation method requires that the target machine has access to the Chrome Web Store (https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx and https://clients2.googleusercontent.com/crx).

UiPathStudio.msi uses this installation method if its requirements are met and the machine is not joined to a Microsoft Active Directory.

You can also use this installation method by running from an elevated command prompt:

&"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /chromepolicyglobal /silent

If your organization uses Group Policies for browser extension management then the following changes are also required:

  1. In the ExtensionInstallForceList policy, add the value:

kmejkhcmhgilmppjodlgaklnmdmmhhcl;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx

  1. In the NativeMessagingAllowList policy, add the value:

com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2

  1. Set DeveloperToolsAvailability Group Policy to the value 1 (Allow usage of the Developer Tools) to enable the full extension functionality. For more information, please check the troubleshooting page.
