Check out Chrome's documentation on Manifest Version. Find the manifest.json
file in the extension's folder and add
"manifest_version": 2,
in there.

Time ago I did a theme for Chrome using a web engine if I'm not mistaken.
It always worked till Chrome upgraded to version 23. Now when I want to install the theme I get this error:
Could not load extension from '/extension_path/'. The 'manifest_version' key must be present and set to 2 (without quotes). See developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifestVersion.html for details.
I guess I have to open the manifest.json and edit the key value to 2? I really don't know, never worked with it. How can I open the manifest?
If I have the extension installed and update to 23, it keeps working without any problem.

sachleen almost 11 yearsThey're no longer supporting manifest v1. See developer.chrome.com/extensions/… and the section below it (Changes between version 1 and 2)
