I have my chrome extension for my website, I want to make a windows installer for it. I used NSIS but it just copied the files and it does not appear in the extensions list. I have seen earlier a software , namely , lastpass which installs the extensions to different browsers. I have also used crossrider.com but my extension did not work. Can any one please tell me how to make a windows installer for my chrome extension

If you are using Crossrider for your extension, you can create an installer by going to the Settings > Windows Installer page, selecting Bundle Chrome (and Bundle Firefox if required), saving the changes, and then clicking Download Installer.
