java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.Exception: node.exe couldn't be found in about hbrowser

[Osiris-Team]

Oh ok looks like npm tries to run its install script via a system wide node installation, instead of the one installed by headleass browser in your current working dir, which is weird and doesnt happen for me.
Im gonna do some research on this.

@empty-person
I sadly cannot reproduce the error with the provided information.
It could be that during the download/installation of NodeJs something went wrong.
Print the debug log System.out like this:

        HBrowser hBrowser = new HBrowser();
        try (PlaywrightWindow playwrightWindow = hBrowser.openCustomWindow()
                .debugOutputStream(System.out)
                .buildPlaywrightWindow()) {
            // ...
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

and share the result please.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\temp\HBrowser\headless-browser\node-js\node.exe

... is missing node-v17.4.0-win-x64 in path, nodejs is installed in c:\temp\HBrowser\headless-browser\node-js\node-v17.4.0-win-x64

@nocelab Can u give the latest version a try. Also, delete the headless-browser folder just to be sure.

Related to: npm/rfcs#531
Going to prepend the node installation path and release an update later.
