Cannot add crx file to Iron (chrome derivitive)

By WacoJohn , 17 June 2015

Works fine on 3 other computers ... (might be an IRON installation problem).

 

When I try to drag the XN icon to Iron Extensions, I get a black circle with a slash it it.  Will not accept the 'drag' action.

Iron (Chrome) v. 43.0.2300.0   32-bit

W8.1-64

 

Any ideas???  Thanks in advance.

Have you downloaded the .crx installation file to your computer?
I haven't been able to drag the link... it won't download to the Extensionspage.

Just to be sure...
Download/save the X-Notifier .crx installation file to your computer... then open the Extensions page for your browser... then find the .crx file on your computer and click-hold-drag the .crx file to the Extensions page. This works fine in Chrome.... as soon as I move the .crx over the Extensions page, a box pops up saying "Drop to install".

Instead of installing, when I drag to the Extensions page, I get a black circle with a slash through it and the file will not drop.

It is the .crx file I meant when I said icon ... sorry.

had to extract the crx file and then install it through developer's mode.  I don't know why the other machines did not have to do that ... but it seems to be working now.
