CreateAsync completion failed, error -2147221164
#1
Hi,

Stumped by this one, most likely something i've done wrong but I can't work it out.

I have a development system and a live system. On the dev system everything is working as it should be.

On the live system I get the following message when enabling "LogMode" as per help.

I have checked and the library is installed "as admin" and -2147221164 is "Class not registered", But as you can see above, its loaded the ocx correctly, and has located the dll to load.

Any suggestions? I've double checked the EdgeRuntime is installed as admin as well.

Hi Dave,

Curious problem.

Can you check if the WebView2 example from Microsoft works?
See this link for more details: https://doc.antview.dev/hs193.htm

Unfortunately I can't use the compiled version as its compiled for Windows 10 using GetDpiForWindow.

I'll try and compile it for previous versions using https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView...windows-10 as a prod.

Dave,

What Windows version are you using?

The other day I've just updated parts of the documentation that Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 are no longer supported.
The reason for that is that Microsoft removes official support for those operating systems and WebView2 on January 23, 2023 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deploy...ng-systems) which is for MS Edge, but WebView2 follows that list of supported operating systems.

I saw some other people having issues with WebView2 already, so made the decision to take it from the public list of supported operating systems now as to have less people waste time on that.
Now that doesn't mean I won't still help with issues until January 23, but that date is very very close by.

Yes its windows 7. May explain a few things.

Should I rather than use the bootstrapper - use an older version of the WebView2 offline installer?

Well it doesn't _have_ to be because the OS is Windows 7, but it is a suspect.

I'm not sure if an older installer is going to help.
WebView2 is normally really fast with updating itself to the latest version available.

Personally I would first try and see if you can get one of the standard examples from WebView2 to work on Windows 7, so that you can determine if the WebView2 control works via .net or not.
If it doesn't work there either then it is more likely that the WebView2 control itself has issues.

Hi,

I got the WebView2Browser compiled with some amendments to the DPI calls to get the browser running on Windows 7 / and a Windows Server 2008 R2 and this example runs as expected, I see the bing homepage and can interact with the browser control.

I've triple checked and re registered the control and I still obtain the same errors.

Any deeper dive diagnostics I can do, now we can confirm WebView2 appears to be working via .net calls?

Dave,

Are you saying that you are seeing this on more than one machine?
I read it to be "compiled for", but not 100% sure if it also implied that you have the problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 as well.

I will email you a link to a private version of AntView that has the possibility to add more log details by setting it to LogLevel 2, but I somehow doubt it will tell me more. The error we're getting here is from Windows end of things when it tries to instantiates the WebView2 control asynchronously.

Let me see if I can reproduce your issue on a Windows 7 box here in house (probably not, but it is worth a shot)

Hi,

Update.

The issue on this thread was mainly because of trying to use the control over RDP.
While that certainly works - and is supported - there appear to have been some ActiveX registration issues related to using the control via RDP.
