Access to the path denied with MAUI and ChromeDriver

Question

Hello, I had a winforms app which I am considering porting to MAUI. The app uses Selenium ChromeDriver.

The following line: new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);
Gives the exception: "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: 'Access to the path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\Chrome\103.0.5060.53\X64' is denied.'"

It works fine on winforms app.

Are there capabilities or something which should be added to the app?
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

First, install the WebDriverManager package
Next:

using WebDriverManager.DriverConfigs.Impl;
using WebDriverManager.Helpers;
using WebDriverManager;

new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);
var chromeDriverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeDriverService, options);
