When tying to install the Chrome 1password 4 extension I get the following error:

There was an error installing the Chrome extension. Please try again.

I keep trying and nothing happens. I was dumb enough to remove the old extension first so as not to have 2 confusing icons on the toolbar. Now I'm 1password-less!

This is Chrome Version 25.0.1364.160

Ok. The solution turned out to be Chrome and not 1password. I deleted Chrome from my apps, downloaded a fresh new install and this worked fine. No doubt something was corrupt.

Sorry, please ignore the post. Hopefully it will help someone else though.

    Yes, you must have the latest version of Chrome installed. This gave me fits yesterday. Chrome is supposed to automatically install updates - but it doesn't. I looked at "About Chrome" and it said "Google Chrome is up to date." But I was several versions behind. So I just downloaded the newest version and installed it (you don't have to uninstall the old one, in fact, DON"T!) and then the 1 Password installer could install the new extension.
