Can't install in Chrome

I visited:

from one of your tweets and when I click on ADD TO CHROME I get an error message saying "Download was not a CRX".

That's odd - when you upload an extension to the Chrom Web Store, they automatically pack it into a .crx file - Are you able to install any other plugins? Are you using a Chrome version greater than 17?

I successfully installed from the web store, moments ago.

Freaky...

I just tried to install your extension again, same problem.

I then tried to install a random other extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/thesauruscom/clljlcapeomdokpgadmegpabakieebci and instead of an "Add to Chrome" button it gave me a "Sign in to Add" button. It seems I wasn't logged in. If I reloaded your extension's page (still without logging in) it still said "Add to Chrome".

I then logged in and installed that other extension (nothing I wanted, just a random one to test) and it was fine. So I then reloaded your extension's page and that installed fine too.

I'm using Version 24 of Chrome. The funny thing is, if I look in my Downloads folder after the failed attempt to install yours, I see a .crx there.

Anyway, it's working for me now, but it (wrong button if not logged in) may be something you want to look in to/report to Google as you may be losing potential users.

Thanks Andy, glad to hear it eventually did install at least.
