Provide URL to download Fixed Version programmatically

[hmartinez82]

Today, to download the fixed versions of WebView2, one has to go the web page and manually select a version in the combobox and click a button. I couldn't find a way to do this from a script.

Ideally a link to download the Fixed Version runtime should be provided. This link should allow passing query params to choose architecture and latest/specific versions available.

Thanks for the feature request @hmartinez82, I've added this as a scenario on our backlog.

Thank you,
This is mostly for CI/CD scenarios 😊

@champnic Or a script like the dotnet runtime downloader

I have archived WebView2 Fixed Version Runtime since the beginning of 2021, and currently I have collected versions 88 ~ 104. Seeing that everyone has the same problem, I created a repository and uploaded the archive files through Releases, hoping to help everyone!

Is this possible yet? I'd like to programmatically download the "latest" during our build process...

I think it can be achieved. You build a static resource server by yourself to store all fixed version runtime packages. During the coding phase, download and load the required version according to the fixed version runtime configured in the project!
