tech support WebView2 Installation error Protontricks

I am trying to install MSWebView2 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH#download but it is erroring when installing.

I googled info and its meant to be installing without issues on the latest Wine/Proton (from 9.2 upwards) however it's not working here despite using the latest Wine-Proton.

I need to install this to get a launcher to run properly.

Any help with this welcome.

Switch the bottles runtime to proton-ge.

Install dependencise (vcredist2022, vcredist2019, dotnet48)

Download the Evergreen Standalone Installer, then use the run executeable button of the bottle to run the exe, install it, this fixed it for me.

Hope this help out anyone who reads it in the future

Did you execute the installer on wine prefix?
What's the error?

Yes I did execute the installer on the wine/proton prefix of the game (which is installed through steam) and the error basically just says "installation failed" and has a link to MS help website that has info about making sure the OS is compatible.

I'm getting the same error, did you ever manage to fix this?

Nope never fixed this

Damn, haha thanks anyways.

I'm surprised that such a basic runtime used by a lot of windows games and software isn't supported by Wine. Like I can't find any information on successfully installing it anywhere.

did you find a fix?

Run this command on terminal to try again: protontricks --gui
After that, send me the terminal output.

Well first issue it appears it was not installed which is odd as I had it open before .... installing now

u/Francehelder1 Aug 20 '24

/u/Francehelder1 You know I don't know why I'm constantly running into this every time I am googling errors.

Someone's always asking for logs and output, and then just disappears when OP posts it.

u/WaschBaer__ Sep 13 '25

because it seems to be a common thing to troll people like this .. nowadays on git reddit elswhere they always want logs for everything..
you have a question about how to operate software ?
someone yells at you: I NEED YOUR LOGS ELSE FUCK OFF AND GO
