Using LogMeIn with Google Chrome

Well, after working on it several times, I finally have the plugin from Firefox for LogMeIn working with Google Chrome. I have not been able to test all of the features. But, I have used the remote control and tested full-screen mode and the Windows shortcut keys work also. I've also used the Firefox LogMein plugin for the Google Chrome Portable version that I have on my thumbdrive.

To get the plugin working, you'll need access to the Firefox plugin files as well as some files from the Firefox folder (I am using Firefox 3.04 on Vista). Here is a list of the files, where I found them, and where I placed them to get the plugin to work. Please note that if you are using 2000 or XP or a 64-bit version of Windows, the file LOCATIONS will probably be different but the FILES you need should be the same.

Mozilla Install Folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox):
JS3250.DLL
MOZCRT19.DLL
NSPR4.DLL
NSS3.DLL
NSS3UTIL.DLL
PLC4.DLL
PLDS4.DLL
SMIME3.DLL
SQLITE3.DLL
SSL3.DLL
XPCOM.DLL
XUL.DLL
-- Place these files in the folder where the CHROME.EXE is stored (e.g. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application)

Plugin Folder (in your Firefox Profile folder, e.g. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx\extensions\LogMeInClient@logmein.com\plugins)
LMIProxyHelper.exe
npRACtrl.dll
ractrlkeyhook.dll
unicows.dll
--Place these files in a folder named "Plugins" under the Chrome\Application\Version folder (e.g. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Chrome\Application\1.0.154.36\Plugins)

Please note that I had to create the Plugins folder and then place the files inside. You'll know you are in the right place to create the Plugins folder if you see "Installer" and "Locales" and "Resources", etc.

As far as the Chrome PORTABLE VERSION, place the "Firefox" dll files with the Chrome.exe file and the plugin files go under the "plugins" folder.
