    Are you sure there isn't a driver already running on your virtual machine? See if there are any instances of Chrome you can remove. Also, if you look in the Appian RPA folder on your virtual machine you should see the driver in one of the folders

    The version of chrome on your VM could be different than your local, can you check to see if there is a version mismatch between your chromdriver and browser version?
