[wxMSW] Edge webview backend fails to load Topic is solved

[brookmiles]

Windows 10 (10.0.18363.1016)
Edge Version 84.0.522.61 (Official build) (64-bit)
MSVC++ 2019 (16.7.1)
wxWidgets-3.1.4

I'm attempting to try out the Edge webview backend using the webview sample, after following the instructions on https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_web_view.html to enable the Edge backend.

However the Edge backend fails to load:

D:\Code\external\wxWidgets-3.1.4\src\msw\webview_edge.cpp(133): 'GetCoreWebView2BrowserVersionInfo' failed with error 0x80070002 (The system cannot find the file specified.).
15:29:24: Edge backend not available

WebView2Loader.dll is present and appears to have loaded, as it's what's returning the error above.

I have not really used it but I learned that the nuget package is not compatible with all Edge versions.

For example, the current package (0.9.579) requires Edge at least 86.0.579.0, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/micros ... leasenotes

AFAIK having a "normal" Chromium-based Edge browser installed is not enough, you need to install the webview2 runtime:

Yep, that did the trick, thanks!
