aa plugin issueUsing a2019 community edition. Getting error while capturing object as "your chrome plug-in is either not installed or disabled. For trouble-shooting help, visit the automation anywhere documentation and search for 'chrome plug-in". 

  • Plug in version is v 11.x.x. 
  • Already tried uninstalling/reinstalling/restarting system
  • Also viewed the documentation page of apeople. But couldn't find the HKEY file stated in that.

Is there anything else I can try to fix this?

    The url is invalid or the page no more exists. Can you check the url and re-share please?

    Thanks a lot. Manually adding the registry keys was the solution.

    How do you actually add the registry keys manually? The pdf show the keys. I use regedit and can click to the right location, but then it's unclear how to add.

    Hello - I think the first key is there, but I do not have an extensions folder in "Google\Chrome". I only have a "NativeMessagingHosts" folder there. Do I need to create an "Extension" folder? If so how?

    Can you provide better instructions? Manually editing registry keys isn't something that people should need to do.

    Follow on question. Once I create the folder, how do I add these?

     

    Also, that "update_url" registry seems like the url is cut off. Is that correct, and if so, what letters are missing?

    @Elio Mariani​ Yes, I created extension folder manually. If the update_url is not working, you can delete and add one and then put the required file path. For file path, you need to search for the files stated in the data column. I followed the pdf shared by Vivek and it was easy for me.

    Simple steps:

    1. Go to Reg Key edit
    2. Go the folders mentioned in the pdf
    3. Add the folder if not existing
    4. Edit/Add the keys using the name, type and data(file path) stated in the pdf
