Having trouble with installer that requires WebView2 as a prerequisite

I included it in the original installation I created from a VS solution, and it seemed to work; but my project was "Any CPU" and by default installed to the (x86) program files directory. Trying certain functionality that required WebView2, got an "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format (Exception from HRESULT: 8007000B)" error. This suggests a bitness error but running the evergreen bootstrapper as part of the install as a prerequisite doesn't solve the problem on my tester's machine; albeit, I got it running on my machine. The release build of my product works on my dev machine; but the version installed on my machine by the installer also gives this error.

What should I do?

Re: Having trouble with installer that requires WebView2 as a prerequisite

Hello,

This problem was further investigated on the email.

The behavior was encountered due to some missing dll dependencies.

Best regards,
