Diagnosing The Problem

Resolving The Problem

Webview2 is a prerequisite software distributed by Microsoft for DOORS >= 9.7.2.7.

The underlying Internet Explorer based control is replaced with the edge-based Microsoft distributed WebView2 control.

The following information is available in release notes of 9.7.2.7 - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6955039

- The DOORS 9.7.2.7 client application requires the Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime to use the EdgeView related controls and DXL perms. The Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime is already a part of the Windows 11 operating system and the Windows 10 operating system with the latest service pack. If required, it can download the Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime from the Microsoft website (The Evergreen Standalone Installer x64 download package is recommended).

- The web browser technology embedded in the DOORS client application used for the OSLC selection and creation dialogs. It is now based on the Microsoft® Edge Webview2 UI control instead of the Microsoft Internet Explorer based browser UI Control.
