Describe your issue

The UniGetUI's installer doesn't recognizes the already installed Edge Webview2 when trying to update the previous install and instead tries to install it's own version of it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Uninstall the default Edge Webview2 installed with Windows/through official Microsoft installer and install it through UniGetUI.
2. Try to update UniGetUI and skip the installation of Edge Webview2.

Relevant information

The Edge Webview2 installed through UniGetUI seems to have different installation path than the "officially" installed one.

Can you download the latest UniGetUI Installer, go through the normal install process and then unselect "Install WebView2" on the installer options page?

Already tried that. Normal installer forces the installation of the Edge Webview2 (there's no option to unselect it)

My excuses. I thought this option was also exposed to the user as a checkbox here.

However, it is only available via commandline switch. Please try to run the installer with the following parameter: /NoEdgeWebView

Everything works as intended with the additional parameter you've listed.

Great!

I suppose that the updater here shouldn't attempt to reinstall the dependencies, since newer versions may be present. I will make the according changes to the updater so that dependencies don't abort an update.
