Hi,

I'm facing a challenge with the Automation Anywhere (AA) extension. I initially developed a process using Chrome, but the client now requires migration to Microsoft Edge. The development environment is an isolated virtual machine with no internet access, which prevents installation of the Edge extension directly from the store. I've tried reinstalling the bot agent, but the Edge extension isn't being provided. Is there an alternative method to install the AA extension in this offline Edge environment?

Hi ​@LAHCEN AGLAGAL,

 

Please follow the below steps and let me know.

 

  • On a machine with internet access, install the AA Edge extension from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons site.
  • Navigate to the extension directory (usually found in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions) and copy the relevant folder containing the extension files (including manifest.json).
  • Move the copied extension folder to the isolated VM using a secure method (USB, shared folder, etc.).
  • Open Edge and go to edge://extensions/.
  • Toggle Developer mode on (top right corner).
  • Click Load unpacked and select the folder containing the extension files.
