MSI Silent install Webview2 issue

[johna]

Hi

We are using a silent install of PDF24 creator to install on servers

We use it as follows:  pdf24-creator-11.10.1.msi AUTOUPDATE=No DESKTOPICONS=No FAXPRINTER=No REGISTERREADER=No REMOVE=WebView2 /qn

Unitll now it was working perfectly

Last week we installed new Microsoft Patches on the servers and now, an installation of PDF24 with above switches is terminated with the following error:

' The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753'

When we remove the switch REMOVE=WebView2, then the installation is working perfectly so my conclusion is that REMOVE=WebView2 is not working correctly anymore after the new microsoft security patches. These are:

MicrosoftEdgeEnterprise_111.0.1661.43_x64

MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstaller_111.0.1661.43_X64

 

We tried different new versions, including v11.11.0, without any better results.

I hope this could be solved

We'll look into this as soon as possible and we'll fix the problem if we can reproduce it.

The problem is the following:

If REMOVE=WebView2 is used alone, the MSI installer deselects all components. To solve the problem, the command must be the following:

pdf24-creator-11.10.1.msi AUTOUPDATE=No DESKTOPICONS=No FAXPRINTER=No REGISTERREADER=No ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=WebView2 /qn

The difference is ADDLOCAL=ALL. This selects all components and just removes webview2.

It is working.

Thank you Stefan
