WebView download fails during install #2029

System information

  • Windows OS version: Windows Server 2022
  • ImageGlass version: 9.1.8.723
  • ImageGlass release: Classic

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run "ImageGlass_9.1.8.723_x64.msi" on a newly installed Windows Server 2022.

Actual behavior

ImageGlass fail on Windows Server 2022

Expected behavior

I'm guessing the installer tries to help the user by downloading/installing the WebView runtime?

Additional context

While the installer had paused with the time out message, I googled and installed the WebView runtime manually.
Then, when I clicked the OK button in the time out message, the installation proceeded and completed.

When starting the ImageGlass application, I got the .NET message telling me to install a newer .NET version.
ImageGlass after install

Perhaps the WebView runtime can be handled in a similar way, if the specific Microsoft link (visible in the time out message) used in the installer is not persistent?

Changes for running ImageGlass without WebView2 since ImageGlass 9.2 Beta

  • WebView2 Runtime is now optional
  • Without WebView2 Runtime:
    • A warning popup appears when opening "Quick Setup" showing the unavailable features and including download link
    • Opening Settings directly opens igconfig.json file with the associated app, or Notepad
    • Accessing the About dialog, Check for Update dialog shows the native Task Dialog
    • Viewing SVG format switches back to the native renderer

Nice!
If there is a persistent link to where WebView2 can be downloaded from, or some kind of "start-page" for WabView2 info, then maybe you can link to that from those "Please install WebView2..." messages?
