Microsoft Edge Webview2 Prerequisite

Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:41 pm

Greetings. I have a requirement to install Microsoft Edge Webview2 as a prerequisite. I do not see this item in the list of Predefined Prerequisites. What are my options?

Thanks!

Hello,

You can add your own package as a prerequisite. To achieve this you need to proceed as it follows:

1. Download the Microsoft Edge Webview2 to add it as a package or copy the .exe link to add it as a URL Prerequisite.

2. Go to the "Prerequisites" page and click on the "New Package Prerequisite" or "New URL Prerequisite" toolbar button.

3. For example, this is the link for the x64 exe: MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe

In the "Install Conditions" tab you can select to always install the prerequisite or only based on a condition. For that you can have a look on our Prerequisite install detection criteria - How to create one tutorial.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
Liviu
