Installed as admin or user?

I saw cases where the wrong architecture was being installed, e.g. x86 only on amd64. The installation of the runtime succeeds but it can't be used because arch is wrong. So maybe that's something to be checked in your case.

[sclang007]

Thank you! It has been resolved and the amd64 version of WebView2 has been re downloaded. It now displays Installed

[stffabi]

Great that you could solve this issue. We could probably try to give some more information in Wails doctor and detect e.g. inconsistent installed architectures.

I'm going to close this issue, feel free to reopen it if you see any further problem with WebView2 detection.
