[SOLVED]Trouble installing WebView2 on wine

I'm trying to run this game on an Arch OS with wine. The game installs fine, but it needs WebView2 to open the launcher and I'm having trouble with that:

When running the game itself wine opens a popup and starts the installer for Webview, the installer can download the files but then hangs in "installing webview" for about one hour before failing with the message "failed to install". No error code, I don't really know where to start debugging, wine's AppDB says it should work fine.

I've tried downloading the installer manually, creating a new prefix, installing webview before the game and using a 32 bit prefix, nothing worked. Here is the terminal output, using wine version 8.13 and kernel 6.4.6-arch1-1.

Re: [SOLVED]Trouble installing WebView2 on wine

So I managed to solve it, just needed to install the Edge browser manually. For that use winecfg and set compatibility mode to at least windows 7, download and run the edge installer

Re: [SOLVED]Trouble installing WebView2 on wine

Could you please be a bit more specific about what you did?

Did you install anything else at all after creating a new prefix? Did you alter any setting at all?
Did you get the 32bit or 64bit version going?
I am getting the same error you got with both WebView2 and Edge (with both the installers for Win 10/11 and for Win 7/8).
Installing under Win 7 or 8 seems to go a slight bit better in that it shows progress on the "installing" step, but still errors out before completing.

The last thing printed is typically this for both Edge and WebView2.

03dc:err:ole:com_get_class_object no class object {cecddd22-2e72-4832-9606-a9b0e5e344b2} could be created for context 0x17
03dc:err:ole:CoSetProxyBlanket -- failed with 0x80004002.
