ClickOnce for Edge

Hi,

I need to install a clickOnce for google chrome extension on Edge, I've installed it manually on Edge and it works great...

Anyone done this with deploy or has anyone any tips for the best way to go about this..?

Would prefer to do it without the users knowledge if possible, and also enable it too... big ask i know but thought i'd ask.

Thanks,

Mick.

It looks like managing Edge extensions is similar to Chrome:

Colby,

Thanks for your reply... I've managed to get this working using a GPO.. but when i open Edge the first time after the GPO is applied it gives an error that the extension is blocked... the user then needs to go and manually allow the extension ( keep ) then it downloads it, then the user has to manually install it...

What i'd like if possible is that the user has no interaction at all... is this just with this particular extension?

Thanks,

Mick.

It doesn't sound like it's working correctly. What did you use for the string? I have no way to test this, but I think it's supposed to be this:
