Experience sharing: installing PDF24 v11.13.2 that requires Webview2

I successfully install the PDF24 v11.13.2 that requires Webview2.
The program only installs into Win10 or higher.
It struck in the loading screen if it is installed directly into a Win10 bottle.

  1. Use Win7 bottle to install DOT NET Framework 4.7.2 that is downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net472/
  2. Install WebView2 downloaded from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ into the same bottle
  3. Switch the bottle into Win10
  4. Install PDF24 v11.13.2 with WebView2 unchecked from the installer
  5. After installing PDF24, switch the bottle back to Win7 and run the application in Win7

The screen is blacked out if it is running in Win10 bottle.
Yet, it works well after switching back to Win7 bottle.

I haven't tested all the functions of it yet, but the functions that I used the most have not encountered any problem so far.

What version of crosssover?

I have not noted down the version of the crossover that I was firstly tried that trick. It was the latest version of crossover at that time. Yet, the trick still works well when installing pdf24-creator-11.17.0-x64.exe in Crossover Version 24.0.3 (24.0.3.37047) at Sonoma14.5 running in Intel today.
