====== "ActiveX component can't create object" when starting Lime CRM Desktop ======

===== Background =====

The error occurs when a user logs in to Lime CRM Desktop using major version 11, leaving the client in a broken state. This issue is caused by a recent update of WebView2 Runtime by Microsoft (version 120.0.2210.61). An [[https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/4226|issue]] has been open with Microsoft and others have experienced the same problem.

Update to WebView2 Runtime 120.0.2210.77 and later resolves the issue for all versions of Lime CRM Desktop. The updated versions was released 16th of December 2023 and should be generally installed by automatic updates by the 18th.

Lime CRM Desktop version 10.18.962 or older are not affected.
