Web Browser Session issue with Edge

Hello,
Could you open the Profiler windows from Help and verify if you get an error message when you open Edge embedded? We have been trying to find this the root of this error and the current version contains more logs to track it down. Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce it on my machine.

Regards

Hi David,
Not much happens in the profiler when I try and launch an embedded session. Is there a Debug/Profiler level that I can set to increase the logging?

Ok,
I've found the problem. They changed the path the native lib and they are not included in our installer.

You can unzip the files in your installation folder or wait for my update.

OK, so success with being able to launch now, but it looks like the proxy settings are being ignored.

Indeed,
There is not easy way in embedded Edge to configure the proxy.

It seems that we have to add AdditionalBrowserArguments to the initialization:

Do you think it could work with your proxy?

Hi again, David...

So it looks like we're all a victim of a bug in WebView 2. There are several other trackers for it, but it looks like they're trying to consolidate it all under Issue #132: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/132

It doesn't look like they have a redistributable package available for WebView2 Dev or Canary channels, so I'll just have to sit tight until it hits General Availability in April.

I've got various workarounds for the time being.

Thanks heaps for looking into it.

This (the runtime Zip'd components) did resolve the ability to use Edge, I have found a few other issues using this but will make certain they are not covered elsewhere before making new posts. Thanks again David, you guys do jump on these things quickly and I really appreciate it!
