Open an elevated powershell.
In the prompt, copy and paste this and hit enter.

[ICODE]Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\*" ` -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*WebView2*" } | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion[/ICODE]

Let us know the output.

Back again. I’ve restored from the recycle bin and restarted PC still no luck, the edge app wont open. The wizard is still not opening either.

I ran the PowerShell command here’s what I got:
DisplayName DisplayVersion

---

Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime 131.0.2903.146

looks like it is installed then? But for some reason it cant be accessed by programs that need webview?

I’ve resolved this issue by using a different mod API program that doesn’t require webview2.
Still no luck with the reinstall though.

1. Thank you so much for letting us know a workaround. It will help others at least get to a working state.
2. Are you where you want to be, or do you want to go further and figure out what’s blocking the install? Anti Virus can do this. All of them, even the one built into Windows. Some block without any kind of notification.

I think I’m okay. in the unlikely scenario this becomes an issue again I’ll come back to this forum, you guys are great. But you can consider this issue resolved.
For future reference the Prism launcher supports the same mod packs and doesn’t require WebView2

Again, thanks for the help chaps
