Tries to install Microsoft Edge Webview

Every time I open Sound Forge 16 the first thing that happens is an install window pops up, and says it's installing MS Edge Webview. I don't want this program on my computer, so I hit the cancel button, it says it's not done installing do I really want to quit, and I say yes, and then it closes and Sound Forge starts to load. Why is SF trying to install MS Webview??

@Michael-Arnold4410 You cannot get around this. Microsoft removed Internet Explorer from Windows and the replacement for the old WebView Control is the new Edge based WebView. Without it, Sound Forge cannot display program parts that are made in HTML (for example creating a Magix user account, showing information about new versions).
