Force installation of SmartBear Test Extension

I am trying to start Keyword test script recording with Chrome.

When running "CScript.exe gpReg.js /r" in CMD in admin mode I get following error code:

"Failed to register the TestComplete Chrome extension. Error code: 1."

I am using:

Testcomplete (Trial)

12.42.3048.7 x64

Chrome

64.0.3282.186

Currently MS Edge is working like clockwork so I will continue trial on this browser, but Chrome is essential for having good test coverage. Firefox has a multi processing issue but this is something that I could live with.

Best regards

Hi Fredrik,

> 12.42.3048.7 x64

Also, you may try x32 flavor of TestComplete that can be found in the <TestComplete>\bin\ folder and check if the same problem exists.

P.S. What is gpReg.js ?

  Hi Alex,
  
  The first solution worked, but I needed to be more patient and had to reboot the computer.
  
  gpReg.js is used to force enabling of the add-on. It is described in the first link appended in the above answer from Martin.
  
  So I did not try this solution, yet. :)
  
  Thank you!

    Ok, thank you. Need to refresh my memory about this area of documentation...
