It worked for me, I tried it myself on this extension: Audio EQ I hope this works for you (: if you want my end result (.crx) just send me (:
EDIT: I had to install the chrome extension on a machine not connected to the internet. I didn't download the .crx file, but I found a way to install:
- If the computer is connected to the Internet, install the extension from the inside page: need 10 repetitions for 2 + /
- Go to the source code of the extension. In XP, this can be found at: C: \ Documents and Settings \\ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome \ User Data \ Standard \ Extensions \
- You should see a version folder (ie. 0.0.21_0 "). Copy this folder and move it to the machine you want to install.
- Open chrome on the disconnected machine and go to wrench -> Tools -> Extensions
- Click the + button next to Developer mode to display developer options.
- Click "Extend Package ..." and select the version folder as the root directory. Leave the private key file blank. This will create a .crx file in the version folder along with the private key, as if you were a developer.
- Open .crx file in chrome to install
This should install the extension on a computer with no internet connection.
