Description
I ship the WebView installer with my application and fire it as part of the install process. I do a lot of local test installs and even though the latest runtime is already installed on my machine, the WebView installer continues to install it again and again and again.
Is there anyway it could be configured to check for the version it's about to install and if found not reinstall it? Since runtimes seem to update monthly at least this would result in only a monthly reinstall?
