Cannot install MS Edge Plugin

Post by gsnsp » Tue Sep 14, 2021 10:27 am

Hi folks,

I'm trying to install the plugin for MS Edge using the Instrumentation Wizard. At the end of the process, the wizard tells me that the Instrumentation was successful. However, when I open MS Edge it says that I haven't installed any extensions (even after a reboot).

Ranorex version: 10.1.1
MS Edge version: 93.0.961.47
OS: Windows 10

Does anyone have a clue if there's a workaround?

1.) I would make sure that all Chrome based browsers (Edge, Google Chrome, Chromium, etc.) are all closed in the background. Sometimes browsers are still running in the background that can cause conflicts and perhaps inhibit the extension being added.

2.) If you're unable to install it via the application, then you can still add the extension into Edge from the Chrome Web Store.

Thank you for your feedback.

I was finally able to add the extension via Chrome Web Store. Thanks for your help.
