I even built it from source in visual studio and couldn't figure it out.

Awesome stuff though!

Yeah, think the dependancy I am working with broke. I might have more luck changing over to talking to chromium directly via a WebSocket like how Selenium does.

Seems this issues is still ongoing.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Failed to launch chrome! path to executable does not exist
File name: 'C:\Users\<user-name-elided>\.local-chromium\Win64-564778\chrome-win32\chrome.exe'

I have chrome installed, but not there. I can't seem to find a way to (via Scraperion) influence PuppeteerSharp to use the extant Chrome (which was just installed via chromesetup.exe from Google.).

(Attempting to bodge with a symlink between expected location and extant location causes a different error)
