You know - thanks anyways. I tried. I really did. I spent 40 minutes waiting on that cefbuild to actually download and extract only to find that there is NO cefclient.exe in the extract. There's a cefclient.exe.manifest which proved fairly useless.

 

Look, I'm sure PBI might be a great product some day and I do truly appreciate people's efforts to fix MS' issues but I just don't have time to play around with solving MS problems. I simply want something that works.

 

So, thank you Qiuyun_Yu and pjeremy - I appreciate the efforts but I'm done with this PBI stuff until some day MS gets its act together.

 

Best wishes,

Gene

Gino49, after you download and unzip the file, you can the cefclient.exe file in the Release folder (the file is not in the root folder in the folder you select to extract the files). 

 

I'm sorry for the Desktop issue you're facing, this issue was reported to the product team. We need to collect the log files from your side so we can figure out the root cause more quickly. Thanks for any info you can share with us.
