Manually Installing Chrome & Edge Extensions
In This Topic
The HttpWatch installer normally installs the Chrome and Edge extensions from their official browser stores. On a PC without internet access, you can manually install the bundled, unmodified package that matches the browser by following these steps:
- Locate HttpWatchForChrome.crx or HttpWatchForEdge.crx in the HttpWatch installation folder. The default folder is %LocalAppData%\HttpWatch for a current user installation or C:\Program Files (x86)\HttpWatch for an all users installation on 64-bit Windows. A custom installation directory may be different. A browser's CRX file is present only if support for that browser was selected during Setup.
- In Chrome, open the extensions page.
- Turn on Developer Mode.
- Drag the bundled HttpWatchForChrome.crx file onto the extensions page and confirm that you want to add the HttpWatch extension. Do not use this procedure for a modified, locally packed or other third-party CRX file.
- Turn off Developer Mode.
- To install in Edge, repeat these steps on the Edge extensions page using the bundled HttpWatchForEdge.crx file.
