Hi All,
I was looking to create an MSI Package that will install an exe, install chrome and add a specific extension then open a url.
What would be the best way to go about setting this up?
Thanks,

Thanks,
download the chrome for enterprise ( 64bit- or 32 bit MSI) from https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/
Download the latest ADM/ADMX policy tempates for Chrome Browser from
https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chrome/policy/policy_templates.zip.
If you're using GPO centralized storage, save the ADM/ADMX policy to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions)
Make sure they show up under the Administrative Templates.
Create a GPO and link it to your test group. Edit GPO
Find your google template or add it in the administrative templates
Look for Google > Google Chrome > Home Page. Set your page
Assign software package for the downloaded .msi. Computer Configuration>Software settings> Right Click on software installation > New > Package. Put the .msi in a network shared folder and type in the full UNC path to that .msi.
click Open > Assigned > OK

@ronnie-wong Thanks for the quick response.
So the plan is to create the MSI Package or even an exe that will action a specific exe file, install chrome, add the extension then finally open a URL. Once created we will send the MSI to clients to run on their machines.
Is this something I will need to setup in Visual Studio? I have written a PowerShell script that will install Chrome;
$storageDir = $pwd
$storageDir
$url = "https://dl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}%26iid%3D{E09C40FB-6DAB-4BFA-1D06-96003C21D319}%26lang%3Den%26browser%3D3%26usagestats%3D0%26appname%3DGoogle%2520Chrome%26needsadmin%3Dprefers%26installdataindex%3Ddefaultbrowser/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise.msi"
$savefile = "$storageDir\yoooooochromeinstall.msi"
$wc = New-Object System.Net.Webclient
$wc.DownloadFile($url,$savefile)
Start-Process 'msiexec' -ArgumentList '/i',$savefile,'/qn /quiet /norestart' -wait
Remove-Item $savefile
Just wondering how I will add it altogether?
Thanks
I'm not sure how to do this programmatically the way you've coded it. I'll have to see if others will have more knowledge on this.
