Description

Issue
Per WebView2 Deployment Sample Documentation,

If you plan to package either the Bootstrapper or the Standalone Installer, download the Bootstrapper or the Standalone Installer and place it under the WV2DeploymentVSInstallerSample folder.
Copy the entire WV2DeploymentVSInstallerSample folder, and paste it under either,

Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce Bootstrapper\Packages\, or
<VS Install Dir>\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\BootstrapperPackages\ (requires at least VS 2019 Update 7).

Details
I cannot run these manual steps on my Azure Devops build server. Consequently, the build of this sample and my application would fail once the build system cannot locate the ClickOnce Bootstrapper package.

Request
Can you add this automatically to the Visual Studio bootstrap packages folders?

Determine how the sample is built on Azure DevOps and verify that a clean build can locate the WebView2 package without the documented manual copy step.
