Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Execute msi which adds entry into registry for CWS hosted extension. 2. Verify notification popup is shown to enable extension. 3. Execute upgraded msi which removes previous registry entry and adds new registry entry for newer extension (both extensions have different ids). 4. Verify at this time notification popup to enable extension is not shown. 5. Restart the chrome and verify notification popup is not shown. What is the expected behavior? When old registry entry is removed and new registry entry is added, notification popup to enable extension should be shown. What went wrong? For newly added registry entry popup is not shown and it looks like extension is blacklisted without user interaction. WebStore page: Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181 Channel: stable OS Version: 7 Flash Version:

I have created Sample msi files for old and new version which I have attached here. steps to reproduce issue: 1. Open chrome in windows. 2. Open some random tabs. 3. Execute SampleSetup_old.msi. 4. Enable extension by responding notification popup. 5. Close chrome. 6. Reopen chrome and open some random tabs. 7. execute SampleSetup_new.msi. 8. Observe extension notification popup is not shown. I have observed sometimes notification popup is shown especially when I go to extension url and manually download, install and then remove. ( This way extension is whitelisted).

Tested the issue on 66.0.3359.181 using Windows 10 with steps mentioned in comment#5, 1. On executing old .msi, not observing popup immediately, it is seen under wrench menu , enabled it from there. 2. Now again installed new .msi file and not observing any pop up file -- not observing popup and not seeing in wrench menu as well. @Reporter: Could you please check the screencast and let us know if we miss anything. Could you please let us know if this is the behavior you are observing. Thanks!

This is the behavior we are observing. Chrome should show notification popup to enable extension after installing new msi. It looks like an issue. Thanks for reply!

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 66.0.3359.181 and on latest chrome 68.0.3440.0 using Windows 7 & 10. Note: This issue is applicable to only Windows. Same behavior is seen on M60(60.0.3112.113) hence considering it as non-regression and marking it as Untriaged. Thanks!
