Need to install already installed WebView 2

[Anonymous]

Hello !

I'm trying to display my Power BI dashboards on a screen using a Raspberry PI 4. After some researches, I found the WoR project (Windows on Raspberry), which effectively allowed me to run Windows 11 on Raspberry PI. So now, I'm running Windows 11 version 22621.525 on a 16Go microSD Card on my Raspberry PI 4, with a RAM of 4Go.

I downloaded Power BI (just Power BI, not Power BI Desktop) on the Microsoft Store and launch it. A display ribbon at the top says "You need to download and install Microsoft Edge WebView 2 to continue using this application.", so I look for it and download it.

When I launch the executable, it just says "Installation failed. The Microsoft Edge WebView 2 Runtime is already installed for the system.".

So now, Power BI need me to install WebView 2... which is supposedly already installed. I tried rebooting the Raspberry, to uninstall and reinstall Power BI, I still have the same problem.

Do anyone has any idea on how to fix this problem ?

I took this picture with my phone, because the Raspberry is already suffering and I didn't felt adding another task to manage.

The "Learn more." link doesn't work, it redirects on an unavailable webpage "We are sorry, the page is forbidden.".

I'm not 100% sure to be in the right forum, but I didn't saw another one in which it could fit.

Thank you for reading !

Edit : Or if you know another way to properly display Power BI reports on a screen using a Raspberry PI 4 without using WoR, I also take yours ideas. I just don't know what to do, Power BI isn't available on Debian and it isn't that good-looking to display Power BI Service just like that in the navigator.

Edit 2 : I installed Windows 10 on another MicroSD Card and tried again, still got the same WebView2 problem.

Hello!

I would recommend you to download the installer from its official site and then run it as an administrator. Once that's done, try installing whatever you need to install. The same thing happened to me but to install Yuzu, and that's how I solved it

Hello Charlotte,

Thanks for your answer, but neither of the two links you shared with me help me ^^'>

I followed them as best as I could.

For the first one, I followed the different steps, but I couldn't uninstall it in the settings (WebView2 was already installed by default, I don't think it's possible).
For the second one, I did create the global variable, but it didn't work; I think this guide works for Power BI Desktop, but not for Power BI which only allows to display reports.

By the way, do you know if it is possible to download this specific version of Power BI (just to display reports, not Desktop) other than from the Microsoft Store ? Perhaps there is an x32 version that would be more suitable for the Raspberry Pi ? Because I don't have that choice on the Microsoft Store, and I can't find it online, only Desktop, Report Server and Report Builder ^^'>

If I can't solve this problem and I can't find another solution, I think I'll have to reinstall a previous version of Windows on the Raspberry Pi, but it might take a long time and there is no guarantee that it will work, so I'm a bit confused (I didn't think I'd have this problem and I thought it would be ok with this configuration).

Or maybe, if you know how to display reports on screens using a Raspberry Pi 4 (Windows IoT only works for 2 and 3), I would gladly follow any idea.

Thank you again for the help your brought me, I hope there is a way to solve my problem.
