Setting browser executable path doesn't work #183

Running single-file.exe gives me this error:

Failed to spawn 'C:\Program Files\Chromium\Application\chrome.exe': File not found

My chrome is installed here:

C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

README says to use a --browser-executable-path path to change the installation location, but when I try:

./single-file --browser-executable-path "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
single-file [url] [output]

Positionals:
  url     URL or path on the filesystem of the page to save  [string]
  output  Output filename  [string]

Options:
  * Browser Configuration:
    --browser-server: Server to connect to <string> 
    --browser-headless: Run the browser in headless mode <boolean> (default: true)
    --browser-executable-path: Path to chrome/chromium executable <string> 
    --browser-width: Width of the browser viewport in pixels <number> (default: 1280)
    --browser-height: Height of the browser viewport in pixels <number> (default: 720)
    --browser-debug: Enable debug mode <boolean> 
    --browser-arg: Argument passed to the browser <string*> 
    --browser-args: Arguments provided as a JSON array and passed to the browser <string> 
    --browser-start-minimized: Minimize the browser <boolean>
...

It just spits out a very long help/usage message.

Here is a list of other things I tried that didn't work:

./single-file --browser-executable-path "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\"          

./single-file --browser-executable-path `C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\`

./single-file "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\" --browser-executable-path

./single-file --browser-executable-path "C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"

single-file --browser-executable-path "C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"

single-file.exe --browser-executable-path "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\"

Does this parameter just not work atm? What am I doing wrong? I am on Windows 11 Pro and the same error message is happening in CMD and Powershell with any combination of the above commands I sent. I cannot change the browser install path no matter what I try.
