Read Me Before Downloading
Already installed? Uninstall first, then run the new installer. Skipping uninstall can cause the uninstaller to fail and leave old files behind.
====================================================
IMPORTANT — READ FIRST
====================================================
REBOOT REQUIRED AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing the program, you MUST reboot your system.
If you already installed a previous version, uninstall it before running a
new installer. Otherwise the uninstaller may fail and leave stale files that
break future installs.
If you do not reboot, the program may report that
"Microsoft WebView2 is missing" even though it was
installed correctly during setup.
This happens because Windows has not fully registered
the runtime until after a reboot.
----------------------------------------------------
IF YOU IGNORE THIS AND TRY TO RUN THE PROGRAM
----------------------------------------------------
You may see errors related to WebView2 or .NET.
While it can be fixed manually, it requires unnecessary
extra work.
Manual fix would require:
1. Uninstalling the program
2. Removing Microsoft .NET Runtime 8.0.25 (x64)
3. Rebooting
4. Reinstalling the program
5. Rebooting again
6. Running the program
