title: Automating Google Chrome extension packaging
body: <p>I'm trying to automate packaging of the Chrome extension on Windows and according to the documentation, it is this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[path]\chrome.exe --pack-extension=c:\myext --pack-extension-key=c:\myext.pem --no-message-box
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However this command results in a new browser window and no action is performed. I tried other switches like --version or --help but it seems that Chrome is ignoring all of this. Do others have the same issue? What am I doing wrong? I also tried various quoting and with no other browser window open but I haven't been able to make this work.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> I'm happy to learn that the new Chrome 8 has fixed this issue.</p>
