Recently I have worked webview 2 application It is working fine.But During the setup , I need to install webview 2 runtime (exe) by manually in my systems. so I want to bundle this exe into my app and make it as single output file (msi) , also when application(msi) is launching need to check whether webview 2 runtime (exe) already installed or not , if no means just install it in offline mode. So the application must standalone with offline installation options. Please note, currently my app output file format is msi (using setup windows installer extentions project).So output file format must be in msi.Kindly give any idea or solutions for this. Thanks.

To delploy the app using WebView2, you could refer to steps in Offline deployment. Did you follow the ways in Distribution of apps using WebView2 which describes how you (the developer) install the WebView2 Runtime, and use the two distribution modes for your WebView2 app. -

What version of your MS Edge? It is a canary/dev version? If you are using regular versionof MS Edge, it doesn't support WebView2. The issue in GitHub is similar to yours, it may give you some help.
