WebView2 Portable

[ExDeF]

Hi!
I suggest a portable version of the WebView2.
Download the latest version: link



I will write how it is done for me:
Unpack the cab file to any disk in the folder, for me: "D:\Soft\EdgeWebView\Application\138.0.3351.83"

Path \EdgeWebView\Application\ do not change! Only the version number, when will the update.

You can delete all directories except: EBWebView\x64 and Locales\en-US.pak, files in the root of folder 138.0.3351.83 do not delete:


Applying the registry file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}]
"EBWebView"="D:\\Soft\\EdgeWebView\\Application\\138.0.3351.83"

To update, download the new version, unpack the file, and change the folder 138.0.3351.83 to the new number
We also change the version number in the file registry:
"EBWebView"="D:\\Soft\\EdgeWebView\\Application\\138.0.3351.83"

Check.

Will reply here when done, if all good in a few weeks.

Wouldn't that make a "duplicate" with that of Edge (except for those who delete it) ?
I have version 140.0.3430.0 with the latest version of Edge Canary installed
