Is there a way to prevent the warning message from displaying on a Chrome extension installation

Question
When you install an extension to the Google Chrome browser from Chrome's website, the installation procedure pops up instantly, without warning. (Chrome's website)
When you install an extension from any other website, there is a warning message: "Extensions, apps, and themes can harm your computer. Are you sure you want to continue?"
My extension is trusted and displayed on Chrome's website, but is there a way to remove this scary warning from my website's download page ?
Thanks
Solution
I figured out myself there is no way to do this because chrome just checks if the extension install is launched from its own website.
For people wondering what I eventually did (if there will ever be) :
As soon as the user clicks on the install button, I hide the document with an 80% opaque layer and show a box pointing where to click to continue the installation.
