Webview2 Runtime Download

The WebView2 Runtime is a redistributable runtime and serves as the underlying (or backing) web platform for WebView2 apps. The concept is similar to Visual C++ or the .NET Runtime for C++/.NET apps. The WebView2 Runtime contains modified Microsoft Edge binaries that are fine-tuned and tested for WebView2 apps. After the WebView2 Runtime is installed, it doesn't appear as a user-visible browser app. For example, a user doesn't have a browser desktop shortcut or an entry in the Start menu.

Before your app creates a WebView2, the app should check whether the WebView2 Runtime is present (either by checking a registry key or by calling an API) and install the Runtime if it is missing. The app can do this check when installing or updating your app (recommended), or at app runtime. To check whether the Runtime is present, see Deploying the Evergreen WebView2 Runtime, below.

For Win32 C/C++, you can create the environment using the CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions function. Use the browserExecutableFolder parameter to indicate the path to the folder that contains msedgewebview2.exe.

For WinUI, make sure the app has access to the folder by specifying the installed location and setting the environment variable for runtime path. One way to do this is by adding the following C# code to your app:

On Windows 10 devices, starting with Fixed Version 120, developers of unpackaged Win32 applications using Fixed Version are required to run the following commands, for Fixed Version to continue to work. This is due to a security improvement in v120 to run the Renderer process inside the App Container. This change doesn't affect Windows 11 devices, the older runtime, or packaged apps.

The WebView2 Runtime provides the underlying web platform for WebView2 applications. Most end users will likely never hear about or interact with the runtime directly, but through the applications it enables.

Starting with Windows 11, the WebView2 Runtime is included as part of the operating system. For Windows 10, we have recommended developers to distribute and install the runtime with their applications. In the past two years, more than 400 million of these devices now have the WebView2 runtime thanks to developers building and distributing WebView2 applications.

I have encountered this problem since the R50.8 US release. At the time my laptop was running 32-bit Windows 7 Pro. Uninstall of Edge Webview2 Runtime caused me additional grief because Microsoft ended support of Window 7 and Edge Webview 2 runtime is no longer accessible for that OS. I upgraded the laptop's OS to 32-bit Windows 10 Pro. I have performed many install/uninstall of Edge Webview 2 Runtime via Quicken's error message procedure and through Windows Control Panel. Also I have manually updated Quicken multiple times as well. Quicken is currently at version R50.15. Edge Webview 2 Runtime is at version 114.0.1823.67. Microsoft documents multiple ways for an application to detect the presence of Webview. One of them is to check the registry and the other is to use GetAvailableCoreWebView2BrowserVersionString. Obviously, the developers are having problems with reliable detection of the runtime. Perhaps they should just embed a fixed version of the runtime. I don't mind the additional storage required for multiple versions of Edge Webview 2 Runtime as long as Quicken works!

You can use the Windows Task Manager to monitor and disable any running processes on your PC. The Edge WebView2 runtime usually spawns multiple processes with the same name, so you have to kill each of them to end the task.

Earlier it was possible to uninstall the Edge WebView2 runtime from the Apps section of Settings in Windows 11 (or Add or Remove Programs in Windows 10). While the runtime is still listed as an installed application, the option to uninstall it is grayed out.

If you see the runtime creating problems on your computer, report the issue to Microsoft and restart your computer. You can also try ending the errant process from the Task Manager, breaking it out of the error loop.

My end users will have neither the SDK nor can use NuGet to get it, though, so I am installing the WebView2 runtime via a WiX installer Custom Action. The action runs the MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe bootstrap installer which installs the runtime. I do see the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime version 91.0.864.59 installed in the Windows Apps & features panel afterwards, so the installer does work.

The exception is clearly referencing the SDK and not the runtime. Looking at the release notes for SDK 1.0.864.35 for runtime support, I see: "Minimum Runtime version to load: 86.0.616.0 or newer". I have 91.0.864.59 installed so that should work.

Our master image contains WebView2 Runtime as it is required for our Webex App and couple of other applications. Recently, we have been tasked with installation of PowerBI Desktop version that will be deployed to roughly 60 users. We have decided to try to package it as an appstack, however ran into an issue where during the capturing process installing PowerBI it appears that it also installs WebView2 Runtime. Once the app is pushed to user it appears to be conflicting with the WebView2 runtime on the image and effectively breaks Webex. We have attempted to install WebView on packaging machine before capturing to see if maybe it will install PowerBi only but it appears that the installer doesn't care and still modifies WebView and Appvolumes captures it which then after being published it breaks other applications using WebView

After extracting the MSI, we use Orca to open the MSI, and create a new Transform, in which we remove Webview2 runtime from the installation sequence. Should be no issue using any other installation tools that can create transforms, but Orca works fine for this purpose.

Before starting the packaging, install the same, or newer, Webview2 runtime version on the packaging machine as is included in PowerBI package, make sure to run it from an administrative command prompt, so it is installed per-machine, instead of per-user:

From admin command prompt, run microsoftedgewebview2runtimeinstallerx64.exe /install

For my issue, I captured the latest version of SnagIt without the WebView2 Runtime since it's already a part of the golden image. After setting the package as default and launching a new desktop, WebEx meetings worked without prompting me to install the runtime package.

Hi all, I keep getting a error that webview2 runtime is not installed. i will the click install, but nothing happens. i even tried to manually download.

i am running on a x32, but i dont see the option for this on microsoft edge download page.

The WebView2 Runtime is a redistributable runtime and serves as the backing web platform for WebView2 apps. The concept is similar to Visual C++ or the .NET Runtime for C++/.NET apps. The Runtime contains modified Microsoft Edge (Chromium) binaries that are fine-tuned and tested for apps. The Runtime does not appear as a user-visible browser upon installation. For example, a user does not have a browser desktop shortcut or start menu entry.

Also tried installing Webview2 runtime into a new Win 7 32-bit bottle (the tie indicated only Win 7 32-bit and Win7 64-bit are compatible.). Then did a complete Quicken installation into that bottle. No errors during install, but Quicken is still complaining that the Webview2 Runtime is not installed and refuses to run.

Today I logged into quicken I got the webview2 message again but this time it was with the virtual desktop enabled. I tried toggling that off and then back on but that did not work. Quicken was working until I logged off and then it immediately returned to the webview2 download screen.

My current Quicken installation was a W7 32 bit bottle, and Quicken immediately exits as soon as the icon shows up (I don't even see a splash screen). I tried installing it fresh, where it suggested as W10 32 bit bottle, but that failed with the Webview2 runtime problem. Rather than force Quicken back to R49.x, I think I'm just going to use a VM for a bit, until this is resolved; otherwise, I'll never remember to reenable the automatic updates ;-)

Stay tuned, we expect to release an updated version of the WebView2 installer, before the end of November. Please try to install WebView2 early December following the steps above. If you still cannot install WebView2, please notify them of this upcoming requirement so they can make the necessary preparations. If you are an administrator, please read more about deploying the WebView2 runtime in your organization.

My friend had a computer issue recently. A program she installed kept crashing whenever she launched it. After trying different solutions, she discovered the program was incompatible with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. To regain full functionality, she had to uninstall the runtime. This taught her the importance of identifying potential conflicts and taking swift action.

I've been trying for a few days to install safe exam browser. I checked my free space on my pc, I checked my updates, I've also tried to manually install vc++ and the .net framework runtime but I still get an error. Here's the log file with all the informations. Thank you in advance for the help.
