[Bug]: I downloaded the microsoft playwright cli and it downloads the wrong versions of chrome

Playwright version

1.12.0

Operating system

Windows

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chromium

Other information

On windows 10

What happened? / Describe the bug

trying running playwright install but when I would run playwright it could never find Chrome. If I blew away my cached browsers it would download them but the wrong versions.

If I rename the version of the folder it works but if I ever reinstall browsers I have to go do it again.

Code snippet to reproduce your bug

using System;
using Microsoft.Playwright;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace PlaywrightDemo
{
	class Program
	{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
        await using var browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync();
        var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
        await page.GotoAsync("https://playwright.dev/dotnet");
        await page.ScreenshotAsync(new PageScreenshotOptions { Path = "screenshot.png" });
    }
	}
}

Thank you for your help. Yes It was pointed at a previous python version of playwright.

I moved my environment variable up to put dotnet ahead of python and it works now. Closing as it was my error due to other language cli taking precedence.

My apologies, after reading this again carefully I remembered that I was upgrading from .net 5 to .net 6 and I forgot to clear previous builds if anyone has the same issue, just run this command from the repo root folder to clear all bin and obj folders:

Get-ChildItem .\ -include bin,obj -Recurse | foreach ($_) { remove-item $_.fullname -Force -Recurse }
