    And make sure the binary is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application..

    Hi Janis,

    Maybe the path for the Chrome Driver is wrong. In my installation the chromedriver.exe file is located at the following path, as seen in the image below: C:\Users\vinicius.marques\AppData\Local\IBM Robotic Process Automation\packages\21.0.2.0

    Since you are also on version 21.0.2.0 of the platform, can you please check if saving the chromedriver.exe file in this path solves the issue? Some folders are set as hidden, so you would have to make hidden files and folders visible.
