I have to install a Chrome extension using C/C++.
I tried to copy the whole folder of a extension in C:\Users[login_name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions. After copying it I deleted the extension from Chrome and then pasted the extension folder back to its own place but it doesn't get installed. How can I install a Chrome extension without using the Chrome browser? I want to install the extension using C/C++.

Google Chrome supports the following alternative extension installation methods:
- Using a preferences JSON file (for macOS X and Linux only)
- Using the Windows registry (for Windows only)
