Configure Google Chrome to run actions

To learn how to protect your browser from potentially dangerous installations, see Managing Chrome Extensions.

To run asset and user actions in Google Chrome, you first need to install Lansweeper's Chrome extension.

Install the extension components

1. Download and run the Lansweeper Chromium Extension installer.
2. Select Next. The executable adds a Lansweeper folder with the extension components to Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application on your computer. It also attempts to add the extension, which communicates with the extension components, to your browser configuration.
3. Restart Chrome. To ensure that Chrome is fully stopped before restarting, open Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), search for the chrome.exe process(es) under Processes and select End Task.
4. Verify the extension is enabled. Enter "chrome://extensions/" in Chrome's address bar, press Enter, and enable the extension if it's not already enabled.
   If the extension does not appear in the extension list, install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store

Make sure you've installed the extension components first, as the extension won't work without the extension components.

1. Browse to the Lansweeper extension in the Chrome Web Store.
2. Select Add To Chrome.
3. Select Add extension in the resulting pop-up.
4. Verify the extension is enabled. Enter "chrome://extensions/" in Chrome's address bar, press Enter, and enable the extension if it's not already enabled.

Grant the extension permission to run actions

After installation, you must manually give the extension permission to execute actions on your machine.

1. Pin the Lansweeper Chromium Extension icon to the browser toolbar.

2. Go to the Lansweeper Web Console and select the Lansweeper Chromium Extension icon in the browser toolbar.

3. In the pop-up, select Enable on this site.
