After the installation of the JRS 8.2 studio, the user sees the error message on the screen as "Edge browser engine is not setup. HTML and JRIO Preview will not work fine".

Problem Statement:

The user has installed Jaspersoft Studio 8.2. When they opened the Jaspersoft Studio, they saw the error "Edge browser engine is not setup. HTML and JRIO Preview will not work fine".

Solution:

-- This issue generally occurs when the user hasn't installed the webview for Microsoft Edge.

-- Please download the webview from the below link:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/

Here, the recommended option is 'Fixed Version'. Select the architecture as 'x64'.

-- After extracting the package in the local machine, we have added the two properties to Jaspersoft Studio Professional.ini file:

    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=edge
    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.EdgeDir=C:\dev\Jaspersoft\Microsoft.WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime.114.0.1823.51.x64  --> This is the path where we extracted the folder.

-- After saving these configurations, restart Jaspersoft Studio, and this error was removed from the Jaspersoft Studio screen.
