In Window 7 you have to install EdgeWebView from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH

Once it is installed you don't need either of these entries:
; BrowserExecutableX86Folder=%USERPROFILE%\Edge32
; BrowserExecutableX64Folder=%USERPROFILE%\Edge64

I have only installed the 64bit version EdgeWebView and it works in both 32bit and 64bit TC.

Which version did you download?
1. Evergreen Bootstrapper
2. Evergreen Standalone Installer
3. Fixed Version
I also downloaded from there, of course. Evergreen Standalone Installer. But he said that it is not suitable for my version of Windows. But I already have WebView2 installed as part of Edge. I'll try to install a new one, just tell me the option.

I think I installed the "Evergreen Standalone Installer" x64 - but it could also have been the "Fixed Version" which I think is the same when you choose the latest version. (But the Evergreen version updates itself).

If you want it I can put the installer I used up for you to download.

It look like you have WebView2 installed when you look in the directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\109.0.1518.140\

But for some reason in Windows 7 it is not activated in Edge. When you then install https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH an almost identical version of Edge is installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\109.0.1518.140\
- see: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/webviewfolder.png - notice it is two different directories I show in that screenshot.

I guess that installing https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH sets some keys that are missing in Windows 7's Registry, when Edge is installed.

It worked! Thank you. But only installing the Evergreen Bootstrapper version helped. In this case, the installation takes place via the Internet and the correct version of WebView2 109 For Win7 is installed. In all other cases, the latest version 130 is downloaded. Not compatible with Win7.

You can try my older version from August 2023 - https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/tools/MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe (152 MB)

No. It doesn't install either. Apparently a newer version, but only 109 is suitable for Win7.

My installed version seems to be: 109.0.1518.140

Hmm, I am quite sure that is the installer I used.

So is mine.

But I just tried installing on another Windows 7 computer, and you are right. The installer downloads a newer version which aborts the installation after a long time trying.
