Description
Hi.
Thank you for WebView2Samples.
When running WebView2SampleWinComp.exe on a machine without the Visual C++ runtime, the following error occurs:
---------------------------
WebView2SampleWinComp.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The requirement to download and install the Visual C++ runtime should be documented.
For example, on Windows Server 2019, I had to install the x64 version: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
Thank you.
