in Windows 11: Failed with FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[bigheadming]

OS: Windows 11 Home OS Version: 23H2 Python: 3.9.18 Chrome installed: No Brave installed: Yes

Description:

• dataframe_image returns error: FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified when running the code below in Windows 11 with Brave browser installed (but no Chrome browser installed).
• It seems to run without problem in Windows 10.
• After modifying the loc locations in the package's chrome_converter.py file (see the commented lines in the code) to point to the right registry in my Windows 11 machine, dataframe_image runs fine.
• It seems that the specification of chrome location (locs) in crome_converter.py is incorrect when running in Windows 11.

Code:

import dataframe_image as dfi

xxx = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1,2,3], 'b': [4,5,6]})
xxx_styled = xxx.style.background_gradient().format(precision=3)
xxx_styled

# Failed with error: FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
dfi.export(xxx_styled, 'c:\\Temp\\xxx.png') 

# Succeeded
dfi.export(xxx_styled, 'c:\\Temp\\xxx2.png', table_conversion='matplotlib') 

# Succeeded after hacking into dataframe_image\converter\browser\chrome_converter.py 
# and the changed the followings:
# locs = [
#     r"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\brave.exe",
#     r"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe",
#     r"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\msedge.exe",
#     # r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe",
#     # r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\msedge.exe",
#     # r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\brave.exe",
# ]
dfi.export(xxx_styled, 'c:\\Temp\\xxx3.png')
