Describe the feature/enhancement you need

Want to inject WebView2 into WinRE.wim. We have customized WinRE environment in which we need WebView2 to inject for browser support. We checked that current WebView2 package do not support injecting into WinRE.wim. Can you please add this support in WebView2?

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

We need a browser support in WinRE environment for our internal project. We have customized the WinRE.wim according to our requirement. We are stuck at Browser support. Earlier, We are using a browser to load Microsoft sites using IE. This is broken now as IE is no more. So we are planning to use Edge and Edge requires the WebView2 runtime.

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

Suggested implementation

No response

What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?

We are using a browser to load Microsoft sites using IE. This is broken now as IE is no more. So we are planning to use Edge and Edge requires the WebView2 runtime.

Hi @Devanath88,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the ability to inject WebView2 into a customized WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) .wim file for browser support.

Please note that Microsoft Edge operates independently and does not require the WebView2 runtime for its functionality.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out.

Hi @sivMSFT Thank you so much for a quick response. We are trying to use webview2 control in WPF application to load the page. It's works fine in Main OS, but in WinRE it doesn't load any page. Thanks, Devanathan,
