VB6 WebView2-Binding (Edge-Chromium)

[Schmidt]

Hello,

I downladed RC6 a few days ago from vbRichClient.com and I registered RC6.dll with the aid of RegisterRC6inPlace.vbs.
Then I installed the "evergreen-WebView2-runtime" via the MS-download-link.

I tried to run WebView2Demo.vbp, got the error "Procedure declaration does not match description ..." and corrected the code as explained in post #60.

Now I expected the demo to run, but it always stops in the following line:

If WV.BindTo(picWV.hWnd) = 0 Then MsgBox "couldn't initialize WebView-Binding": Exit Sub

with the following error message:
"Runtime Error 53:
Error in FindFirstFile: ErrNum: 3, The system cannot find the path specified."

(I'm using VB6 Version 8176 under Win10Pro).

Any ideas what is wrong or what I did wrong?

There seems to be a problem with the installation of the WebView-Runtime...

The BindTo-call is looking for the WebView-Runtime-BaseFolder via the following Path-Expression:
(for your Immediate-Window):
?New_c.FSO.GetSpecialFolder(CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESX86) & "\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application"

When I paste the above into my immediate-window (followed by pressing <Return>),
then it prints out:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application

This path exists on my machine (when I paste it into Explorer.exe, it shows the content)...

Under this path, the BindTo-call then continues, to list determine the Folder with the highest Version-Number...

So, could you check what your immediate-window says, the Base-InstallPath of the WebView-runtime is -
and whether it exists on your machine?

HTH
