Not able to locate the file

RK | Last updated: Jan 17, 2021 09:37AM UTC

OS: Windows 10 Pro I downloaded Burp Suite Community Edition. When I run the exe file, everything went fine but I couldn't locate the file to open Burp Suite. I tried uninstalling and re-installed it but still couldn't open it or locate it on my PC. Any help?

Hi, If you have used the default installation path then Burp Community edition should have been installed under the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity directory - where <user> is the user that you have used to carry out the installation.

Thanks I found it but not able to open Burp's embedded Chromium browser. Showing error "BurpBrowser binaries were not found in the expected location"?

Hi, Is there a burpbrowser subdirectory within the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity directory?

Hi, Nope didn't find it in that location?

Hi, Do you have any anti-virus software installed on your machine that might potentially be having issues with the embedded browser files (there are executable files installed under the subdirectory mentioned earlier)? It sounds like the simplest approach would be to uninstall the version that you currently have and then perform a reinstall to see if the all of the files are installed under the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity directory. To confirm, you should see a burpbrowser and jre subdirectory, some files (including the BurpSuiteCommunity.exe file) and a hidden .install4j subdirectory within the BurpSuiteCommunity directory.

I tried installing again and it worked but I am not able to intercept messages on Burpsuite if I enabled manual proxy. I installed Burp CA Certificate. Browser showing this error NET ERR CERT AUTHORITY INVALID. I want to make it work on Chrome?

Hi, Can you clarify with us the steps that you have used to install the Burp CA Certificate (can you confirm that you have installed it using all of the steps provided here - https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/proxy-setup/certificate/internet-explorer)? It might be easier to send us an email at support@portswigger.net and include some screenshots of the error that you are seeing and the steps of how you have installed the Burp CA Certificate.
