unresolved external symbol _CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions

My project was successfully built in visual studio 2019. Now I was asked to build in visual studio 2022.

For this project, I need webview2 libraries;I installed webview2 and windows implementation libraries using NuGet as recommended in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/get-started/win32. These are the same steps that I followed while building on VS19. I even installed the same version on vs2022 also.

Now, I am getting a linker error on vs2022 while building my project.

unresolved external symbol _CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions@16 referenced in function blahblah

I made sure that the webview2Loader.dll existed. I gave it a try by copying webview2Loader.dll from the vs19 working folder.

Also using dumpbin.exe I made sure that the method in error is exported from webviewLoader.dll

Not sure what else to try? anyone has any idea?
