Remarks

Browser version info includes channel name if it is not the WebView2 Runtime. Channel names are Beta, Dev, and Canary. The format of the return string matches the format of BrowserVersionString. If an override exists for BrowserExecutableFolder, ReleaseChannels, or ChannelSearchKind, the override is used. The presence of an override can result in a different channel used than the one expected based on the environment options object. BrowserExecutableFolder takes precedence over the other options. See Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.CoreWebView2Environment.CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions(System.String,System.String,Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.Raw.ICoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions,Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.Raw.ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentCompletedHandler) for more details on overrides. If an override is not specified, then the parameters passed to GetAvailableBrowserVersionString are used. The method fails if the loader is unable to find an installed WebView2 Runtime or non-stable Microsoft Edge installation.
