@jedieaston, I've been chatting with the Edge team. Can you shed a bit of light on why you changed the upgrade behavior to "uninstall previous"?

[jedieaston]

In my testing, WebView2 wouldn't upgrade if it detected that a previous version was already installed (I assumed because it is supposed to be updated automatically in the background). The only way I was able to upgrade it if a existing version was installed was to uninstall the previous version.

Testing it now, it seems like I can't reproduce that behavior anymore. Maybe they fixed it?

[denelon]

There may be a few different packages attempting to use WebView2, and it is intended to "keep itself upgraded". We're talking with the team about publishing manifests themselves and taking advantage of Enhancements to upgrade (Apps that upgrade themselves).

That would be awesome! Especially if they could cover the other Edge channels.
