    So far, I found the easy solution is:

    1. Go to https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2?form=MA13LH
    2. Download the Evergreen Standalone Installer
    3. Run the Installer as Administrator
    4. The Problem should be solved

    Go to Registry Editor at the following location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\

     

    Delete {F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5} Then install WV2. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2?form=MA13LH That should hopefully do the trick.

    Hi @Ken Socko

    The error may be related to your Microsoft Edge. 

    Please open your Control Panel > Uninstall a program > search “Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime” > right-click on it > Change > Repair.

    Then, restart your computer and go to retry the installation. 

    If it doesn’t work, I would suggest you reinstall the Microsoft Edge using the latest version. Or report a new question in Microsoft Edge to first solve the Microsoft Edge error. 

    You can also consider reinstalling Windows, which may resolve your issue faster.
