The installation works if I first download and install MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe via https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703.
But I still think this is a bug in the Papercut-SMTP installer that should be fixed.
I'm installing Windows 11 finally so I'll test this locally here in the next week.
I'd just like to add a data point. I am getting the same issue when installing on "Windows Server 2019 Standard". installing the Microsoft Edge Webview 2 Setup seems to resolve it.
The link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703 leads to the installer. Installing this did resolve my installation issue on Windows Server 2012.
It appears that just having Microsoft Edge installed does not address the dependency. If the Microsoft Edge Webview2 is a prerequisite it should at least be documented (maybe it is somewhere) and the setup program should check it as a system dependency.
Anyone can take the reins with the installer system. I hate it -- massive time suck -- it's pretty much the whole reason I stopped working on the project. I don't have the time to do it.
I know the feeling. All the installer tech is ridiculously expensive or crappy like Wix.
Thank you for what you have done, I just started using it and it's very useful, better than smtp4dev since it renders the email.
Maybe just keep it simple and put something on the readme about installing the Webview dependency on the home page so people know what to do when they are tripped up by the missing dependency.
I just did a clean install of Windows 11, with all Windows updates installed. When I try to install Papercut SMTP v6.2.0 the setup fails with this error:

Expected behavior Setup should complete without errors.
