Same here, but I think the problem it is on package side.

I tried also two alternatives.

• I used the option Change from Control Panel / Programs and Features to repair the package installed
• I uninstalled and installed again the package with winget

Same result: installed 102.0.1245.33 and not 102.0.1245.39

Have you both tried updating with Terminal run as Administrator?

We're aware Microsoft.EdgeWebView2Runtime is a bit weird, but the common issue with the 1.2 client that its not run as Administrator, the 1.3 client will try to execute the installer as Administrator, however they found a issue with msi's.

The other issue with Microsoft.EdgeWebView2Runtime is that Microsoft Edge contains a installation of WebView + some programs installs WebView as a Dependency so its installed Twice.

Edit: It also seems like the version is wrong
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ lists 102.0.1245.33 as the newest version

Thanks for fixing the manifest.
Anyway I confirm (with winget 1.2) I run a cmd as Runs as Administrator before excuting the upgrade.

Hey.

I am sorry but it seems the same problem: the installing process of 103 release completes correctly, but there is always 102 release.

I think #64394 fixed the issue?
I just did WinGet Install and got version 103.0.1264.37

[albertosantini]

@OfficialEsco Thank you. Resolved.
