This happens when the webview2 does't load for some reason.

One cause of this is if the user is using Windows 10 which doesn't have WebView2 installed by default.

In that case users must download the Evergreen Bootstrapper: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2#download

Nice find, maybe just include that dependency using this, there is a URL option, but I'm not sure how it works. Need some investigation.

I'm unable to reproduce this on a fresh windows 10 2004, it looks like Visual Studio already installed webview2 image

Huh, I wonder if it's a combination of an old VS and windows 10? Or maybe this is just not the root cause.

There seems to be no way to install an older version of Visual Studio so I couldn't test it, on another thought, would the extension even load if it couldn't satisfy its dependencies?

Re-opening this. Will wait to see if #16 fixed this fully
