Well, surprisingly, the Microsoft Store does not have support for installing this dependency. And they may never add support either, because their goal is to already have it installed on all machines. For now, the recommended approach is to detect at application runtime and run installer if needed. WebView2 is a per system install and therefore requires elevation, so that complicates things since a Store app is per user. So, if someone who is not an admin were to update to the new webview2 version of SLX, but does not have webview2 installed, they would be dead in the water until an admin allows installation. On the plus side, since Microsoft has been quietly installing Webview2 on machines since last April, I don't think there are many machines that are lacking WebView2. So, I need to try and test all the possibilities. I'm not in any particular rush, but I am working on it. I do really like WebView2 vs Chromium Embedded Framework.
