Microsoft Edge Webview2

Post by davo »

Anybody have experience getting webview2 working in Wine? I've had good luck with Windows plugins/Wine/yabridge. So I bought a new one from HorNet that has no GUI. They said their newer plugins need the latest webview to work. Is it a matter of downloading and installing through Wine's interface? I would install the fixed version; sure don't need any microsoft stuff automatically updating.

Microsoft Edge WebView2 is a developer control that enables the embedding of web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in native applications powered by Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

I tried to install it and got a bunch of 'fixme' messages. From other posts about fixme, it appears that webview is not going to work in Wine. Thanks anyway!
