What kind of app do I download from the Chrome web store in order to install .exe or .ini software?
I get a message telling me to do that when I try to install a wi-fi signal booster to my Chromebook 7, but absolutely no hint whatsoever of what app to look for in order to install the booster.

This is why I gave up on it, besides the fact I gave my CR-48 to my son lol To put it simplistically, it's pretty much the Google Chrome browser on steroids. If you only need to do basic things and you can stay connected to the internet, it's fine. Otherwise...not so much.
