So, as you can see here while downloading Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, I get this error. This is happening for the second/third time with the same application. Neither has it given more information about the error nor can I find information about the cause of the failure on Google. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance!

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    Could you run the command prompt as Administrator then try to install again?

    Kind Regards,

    Elise

    It worked! The application definitely needed some admin perms to install. Thanks a lot!
