Burp Browser Error x (1) java.io.|OException: Cannot run program *CAUsers\nisha\AppData\ Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity\burpbrowser\125.0.6422.112\chrome.exe CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified The above given is the exact error message

Hi Nishant, That error generally indicates one of two things. Either the chrome.exe is not present in the directory or, as is normally the case, something on your machine is blocking the chrome.exe from running (this is normally an anti-virus or similar). If you check the listed directory and the chrome.exe is present is there likely to be some software in place on your machine that would be preventing the executable from running?

having the same problem. i see chrome.dll and the directory and no anti-virus is blocking it

Hi Matanel, To confirm, you are referring to the Chrome.exe file being present in the directory, is that correct? If this file is present, and you believe no other software on your machine is preventing the executable from running and the browser launching, if you double click the chrome.exe file (whilst located in this directory in Windows Explorer) can you confirm what happens? Does the browser launch or do you see a similar error message being returned? Running the Chrome executable this way should be analogous with running Chrome as a standalone browser, independently of Burp, so it would be useful to know the outcome of this test.

Hello, I have the same problem after updating to Burp Suite version 2024.9.2 It shows the following error: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\Ahmed Tarek\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity\burpbrowser\129.0.6668.71\chrome.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified When I go to the specified path, the folder is empty. The chrome.exe file isn't there anymore (by the way, it was there before the update).
