First time installation of ImageGlass using Chocolatey, successfully installs dependencies including WebView2, but ImageGlass doesn't see WebView2

matttrv commented 4 months ago

System information

Windows OS version: 11 Pro N Insider Preivew (23H2, [Version 10.0.25977.1000], OS Build = 25977.1000 )
ImageGlass version: v9.0.11.502
ImageGlass release: Installed via Chocolatey (choco version v2.2.2)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Executed "choco install imageglass"
Chocolatey successfully installed imageglass and dependencies, including WebView2
Ran ImageGlass from start menu
ImageGlass shows in the main window, "Please install the latest version of WebView2 Runtime".

Actual behavior

ImageGlass is telling me that I need to install WebView2 Runtime, but it has already been installed by Chocolatey as a dependency when I ran "choco install imageglass".

Expected behavior

ImageGlass should have run successfully.

Additional context

This differs from Issue #1890 in that #1890 is upgrading WebView2. I am installing ImageGlass (and WebView2) for the first time.

Is it possible that I need to point ImageGlass to Chocolatey's location for WebView2? If so, I wonder if it is possible to configure ImageGlass to do that at the time of install via Chocolatey using an install script.

Happy to share additional screenshots if it's helpful.

I also hit this error. I tried to install the webview2 runtime from microsoft's installer, and at first it failed - claming "webview2 runtime is already installed". Reboots and trying the standalone microsoft installer a second time, I was able to install the non-chocolatey webview2 runtime and imageglass was able to start normally

This is probably the issue of the WebView2 package in Chocolatey. ImageGlass shows the "Please install the latest version of WebView2" message if

It cannot detect the WebView2 version through the GetAvailableBrowserVersionString() API, or
The version is older than 119.0.2151

Alternatively, if you run ImageGlass 9.0.11.502 or later, you can use the Fixed Version of WebView2 for ImageGlass. Follow steps in the Changelog > New Features > Added support for custom WebView2 Runtime in this link https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/releases/tag/9.0.11.502 to know how to do it.
