Description
Description
We verified that by installing the bootstrapper on a 64-bit version of Windows, the 32-bit version of WebView2 was installed.
That was confirmed by checking the bitness of the DLLs and by checking under the EBWebView folder that the x64 folder with the EmbeddedBrowserWebView.dll was missing.
Version
SDK: N/A
Runtime: 105.0.1343.33
Framework: N/A
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise, 1909
Repro Steps
- Uninstall any version of WebView2 currently installed
- Download the bootstrapper from the web
- Install the bootstrapper with elevated permissions
- Check bitness of a DLL (we checked msedge_elf.dll) and also check EBWebView folder
- Verify bitness is 32-bit on the dll and x64 folder is missing from EBWebView folder
Extra information
-
Our application, by running the 64-bit version of the installer of WebView2, does work.
But some time later, usually in a day, it gets updated to the 32-bit version of WebView2. -
To check the bitness of the DLLs, we used the method described in the selected answer of this link: https://superuser.com/questions/358434/how-to-check-if-a-binary-is-32-or-64-bit-on-windows
