Research direction

Start by locating the documentation for running WebView2SampleWinComp.exe and verify the Visual C++ redistributable details against the linked Microsoft guidance. Done means the documentation explains the runtime requirement and links to the appropriate x64 download for environments such as Windows Server 2019.

Description

Hi.

Thank you for WebView2Samples.

When running WebView2SampleWinComp.exe on a machine without the Visual C++ runtime, the following error occurs:

---------------------------
WebView2SampleWinComp.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

The requirement to download and install the Visual C++ runtime should be documented.

For example, on Windows Server 2019, I had to install the x64 version: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Source:

Thank you.
