Edge Dev 101.0.1193.0 will not start
bwholl I managed to roll back to 100.0.1181.0 by mostly following the steps on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-learnmore-rollback
One difficulty is that v100 is no longer available on the download page. Instead, I tried winget
winget install --id=Microsoft.Edge.Dev -v "100.0.1181.0" -e While this ended up failing, it did show the URL it downloaded the .msi from, which I was then able to download myself. I'll also note that the msiexec command didn't show anything when it finished (omit the /qn from the command if you want prompts). Launching from the taskbar also didn't seem to have rolled back, but under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application there was now a 100.0.1181.0 folder, and msedge.exe successfully ran from there (although the restored tabs appear to be from that snapshot in time, and not what I last had open).
WayneIRE thanks for this. I ran the command and it installed, and my Edge is now working.
However I did get an error from the installer. The log shows the following:
Action start 19:43:25: InstallFinalize. CustomAction DoInstall returned actual error code -2147219187
- I was able to use winget to install 100.0.1181 and that worked. Thanks. I'll see what happens when it updates.
bwholl to be clear it didn't actually downgrade, but the issue seems to be reolved. Not sure how
- I uninstalled Edge Dev and used 'winget install --id=Microsoft.Edge.Dev -v "100.0.1181.0" -e' to get 100.0.1181 installed. I'm currently doing a 'winget upgrade --all' and it is going to upgrade it again to 101.0.1193. I'll then see if it is just 101.0.1193 that my system doesn't like. I'm running 101.0.1193 on other systems with no issue but not on my corp domain and with different anti-virus software. I'll post what happens, maybe I just got a bad update on this system.
