Webview2 not working

Question

Hi,

We had a project setup on 2.0 .net framework. We changed it to 4.7.2 to use webview2. When we try to initialize corewebview2 we get error as in screenshot. When we create new .net framework project and initialize corewebview2 it works fine. We have a desktop application which COM app which tries to open this form and we get the error as below.

Error when desktop app (COM app) tries to open the form(Note: the project for this form was initially set to 2.0 and now 4.7.2.):

The above is setting in our visual studio.

When we create a .net framework project and try to initialize it works fine. We are not opening this form from desktop app:

Kyle,

COM app is iManage Document Management System app. To change the framework right clicked on project -> Properties -> Application->Target Framework (4.7.2).

To reproduce:

1) Create .net framework windows form app in visual studio with webview2.
2) Add a class file tp project and create object of above form.
3) In constructor of the form write code to initialize CoreWebView2.

Please refer below code:

We also have this checked in our project:
