Manager crashed when I try to upgrade from x20.8.27 to x21.1.55 (Windows 10 64-bit). (Yes, I’ve been away for a while.) When I try to install v21.1.55 over v20.8.27 in the usual manner (I’ve also tried deleting the old version before installing the new, with the same results), first I see a new di…

I just tried again, this time clicking the “Fallback to IE” button on the first dialog box: [1] Manager v21.1.55 installed this time (after I dismissed a dialog box saying “WebView2 was not installed”). Every time I start Manager now, it again asks me to install WebView2 and I have to click “Fall…

Webview is required if you want to use copy to clipboard for batch update for the Desktop Version. It is not required for Cloud or Server version. There may be other uses for Webview. I can’t recall the exact reason it was introduced, but it was probably to do with copy to clipboard. You don’t nee…

[image] Jon: Then this happens: The Webview2 error you are getting when you first run Manager after installing Webview2 is Webview2 trying to create a directory in your Manager program directory. The solution is to manually create this directory and set it’s protection to allow user read wri…

I would say that the solution is to install Manager in a non systems folder such as C:\Manager or to install Webview on it’s own which should bring up admin rights. This will ensure that the correct permissions are set for the folder.

[image] dalacor: or to install Webview on it’s own Webview2 already installs in the directory “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft” The problem is with the invocation used by Manager it stores it’s data in Managers program file instead of one of the following options: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft…

I agree that programs should be in c:\program files. No argument from me. But until the developer changes Manager so that it a: installs to this location by default, b: ensures that admin rights prompts come up when installing to a secure location and lastly addresses the issue the OP is querying th…

[image] dalacor: Download and install Webview manually, not via Manager and make sure you install Webview as administrator to ensure it has the necessary permissions to install to that location. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. Even after downloading Webview directly from Microsoft and insta…

I install Manager in the same directory as you and this solution enables me to run the current versions of Manager with Webview2 [image] Windows Installation (not portable) Webview2 writes to a folder (“ManagerDesktop.exe.WebView2") in the directory of the program using w…

It is probably because you need to do what patch said and apply the permissions manually to the folder in Manager. I wouldn’t wait for it to be fixed because the issue of Manager not installing to c:\program files has been raised a number of times. The developer seems to want an install solution whe…

The solution from @Patch worked for me, with v21.2.17. Here are the step-by-step directions for installing WebView2 when installing or upgrading Manager, if Manager is installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\ (or anywhere outside of the user AppData directory). As @Patch wrote, it is necessary to chang…
