Description
It has been unable to install, and later found the problem by checking the log,
MicrosoftEdgeUpdate(1).log
Hidden system files appear in the Microsoft folder: Edge, EdgeUpdate, EdgeWebView, Temp, these are in the form of files, so folders cannot be created, as shown in the figure.
Among them, after EdgeWebView and EdgeUpdate were forcibly deleted by me, WebView2 was successfully installed. It seems that some programs will prevent the installation of Edge/WebView2. I hope that Edge/WebView2 will check whether there are abnormal files in the installation location during installation. If there are any, they will be deleted forcibly. The administrators will obtain the ownership, and then clear the read-only attribute to delete it. up.
The probability of occurrence is not low. At present, my program performs a strong deletion of the folders of EdgeWebView and EdgeUpdate, and WebView2 can be installed normally. I just suggest that the official can detect abnormal files and perform strong deletion. This part of the code is built into Edge/WebView2 to prevent Some malicious programs prevent installation in this way.
