# Group Policy conflict

> When installing the UiPath extension for Edge using Group Policy the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) is updated at the machine level.

## Description

When installing the UiPath extension for Edge using Group Policy the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) is updated at the machine level.

This can cause a conflict if the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) is also defined at the user level.

Because the machine level has priority, the extensions set at the user/cloud level are uninstalled.

To confirm this, check at `edge://policy` if this warning is displayed under [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist):

`More than one source with conflicting values is present for this policy!`

## Solution

To solve this conflict, follow these steps:

1. Install the UiPath extension for Edge using the `NativeHostOnly` installation method. This installation method enables communication between the extension and Studio/Robot. It does not make any changes to the Group Policies. To use this installation method add `EDGE_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnly` to the installation command for [UiPathStudio.msi](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2025.10/user-guide/command-line-parameters). Example: `UiPathStudio.msi ADDLOCAL=DesktopFeature,Studio,Robot,RegisterService,EdgeExtension EDGE_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnly`.
2. In the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) policy, add the value:
   1. For the **Group Policy Online** installation method (that installs the extension from Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store): `dknkgjgkdpkmddgdjlgdhfojlaehikmk;https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx`
   2. For the **Group Policy Offline** installation method (that installs the self-hosted extension): `ndmegdjihnhfmljjoaiimbipfhodnbgf;file:///C:/ProgramData/UiPath/UiPath.Common/EdgeExtension_SelfHosted/extension_manifest_edge.xml`
3. In the [NativeMessagingAllowlist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#developertoolsavailability) policy, add the value: `com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2`.
