Description

Today, to download the fixed versions of WebView2, one has to go the web page and manually select a version in the combobox and click a button. I couldn't find a way to do this from a script.

Ideally a link to download the Fixed Version runtime should be provided. This link should allow passing query params to choose architecture and latest/specific versions available.

Start by locating the Fixed Version download flow and determine how a programmatic URL could select architecture and latest or specific versions. Done means a documented or working URL supports those selections without manual webpage interaction.
