Please use the Evergreen bootstrapper, it will correctly select the last version of Edge WebView2 available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to install. Don't use the fixed version installer.

Btw, what do you think about using CEF instead of Edge WebView2? Using CEF you could control which version of CEF to use, not being forced by Microsoft to use the latest version of Edge WebView2. For example, Chromium 109 is the last version support Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 so you could choose to use CEF 109 for these platforms.

I used CEF in earlier versions, but decided to use WebView2 instead. It's much easier to use and doesn't add hundreds of megabytes to the install file.
The Evergreen bootstrapper should be used already. The installer doesn't include any WebView2 runtime.
I haven't tested it on Windows 7 though...
