Failed to launch the browser process!

I get this error when I start my next app with yarn dev

error - Error: Failed to launch the browser process! spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe ENOENT

I have chrome installed on my system but its, not in the path printed in the error. It is in the 64bit folder. C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application

My ENV

• Node 16.1.0.0
• Next 12.1.0
• chrome-aws-lambda 1.6.3
• Windows

same problem here. I used the following steps

• yarn create next-app –typescript
• yarn add next-api-og-image chrome-aws-lambda
• Create github repo and push
• added file pages/api/ogimage/index.js with code pasted from https://github.com/neg4n/next-api-og-image/blob/main/example/pages/api/basic.js
• Create Vercel app and deploy
• When i visit the url i see the generic Next home page
• When i visit /api/ogimage,
• Then it fails with 500 error and logs say

[GET] /api/ogimage

@linojon I think your Problem is a different one. If you are using Node 16.x on Vercel try version 14.x. Because not all versions of chrome-aws-lambda support version 16
