WebView2 external dependency cannot be installed from an MSIX package on a Windows 10 target machine
Hi, I have built an MSIX package that includes https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-win32dependencies-externaldependency using Microsoft Packaging Too...
Any updates on this? This doesn't work at all! We need a way to be able to ensure this dependency is installed on the client machines using MSIX.
ekalchev I am afraid so far I didn't find any workaround solution. I think only Microsoft can fully investigate and add a fix for this issue.
- Maybe it helps from the AppxManifest from the Teams installation:
<Dependencies>
<TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Desktop" MinVersion="10.0.17763.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.22621.0" />
<win32dependencies:ExternalDependency Name="Microsoft.WebView2" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Windows, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" MinVersion="110.0.1587.63" Optional="true" />
</dependencies> Daniel1175 Still does not work. The only bright side is that the evergreen runtime is installed on new Windows 10 VM's as soon as Windows Update is run.
