+ A new registry entry should be created next to the "update_url" key (see |
+ instructions <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions#registry">here</a>). |
+ The value name is "install_parameter", the value data is an arbitrary string: |

+ be part of the hostname. It needs to occur after the first '/' in the URL. |
