问一下cab解压后怎么样才能全局使用

问一下cab解压后怎么样才能全局使用，我这边因为只能在离线环境使用，而且只能是Windows7

[Pouliooo]

Same for me, I extracted the cab, when I want to execute msedgewebview2.exe nothing append

具体使用方式请参考官方文档：https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/distribution#details-about-the-fixed-version-runtime-distribution-mode

贴一下我在 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1661814/latest-version-of-microsoft-edge-webview2-runtime?page=2 的回答，在离线 Win7 测试过了。Win7下最后的版本是 109.0.1518.140。

@abbodi86 listed the method of installing using Microsoft Edge Standalone Installer. However, the disadvantage is that it will generate a %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate folder, which will store multiple Edge installation packages, taking up additional space. Windows 7 is no longer being updated, so this folder is no longer useful.

After observing the installation process with Fidller and procexp64.exe, I found the following installation method that doesn't take up extra space (consistent with @Kacper Syguła 's answer)

Download Edge Mini Setup

Type A

Download "x64Microsoft Edge-WebView2 Runtime" from catalog.update.microsoft.com

You will get microsoftedgestandaloneinstallerx64_1c890b4b8dd6b7c93da98ebdc08ecdc5e30e50cb.exe

Use an extraction tool to extract MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe.{0D50BFEC-CD6A-4F9A-964C-C7416E3ACB10} from this exe and rename it to MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe

Type B

Use the command to get a dynamic download URL.

curl -k -o EdgeUpdateUrls.json -X POST "https://msedge.api.cdp.microsoft.com/api/v1.1/internal/contents/Browser/namespaces/Default/names/msedgewebview-stable-win7and8-x64/versions/109.0.1518.140/files?action=GenerateDownloadInfo&foregroundPriority=true"

Open EdgeUpdateUrls.json, find and download the URL for "FileId": "MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe",
Then rename it to MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe

Setup Edge and WebView2

If you run MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe directly, it will install Edge Browser to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge.

If you add these parameters to run , it will install WebView to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\EdgeWebView

MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe --msedgewebview --verbose-logging --do-not-launch-msedge --user-level

They will not create the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate folder.

Install to Machine Mode

The method above installs to user mode by default. Use --system-level instead of --user-level to install to machine mode.

MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe --msedge --system-level

MicrosoftEdge_X64_109.0.1518.140.exe --msedgewebview --system-level

Will install Edge Browser to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge and WebView to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView (Even if it's a 64-bit installation, it will still install to (x86))
