[Bug]: Running Playwright from Gradle on Windows from a github action fail with "Timed out waiting for browsers to install"

Version

1.45.0

Steps to reproduce

On Github Action with a Windows runner, the following code is not working when run from a gradle Taks :

fun browser(logger: Logger) {
    logger.info("starting browser")

    Playwright.create().use { playwright ->
        logger.info("Playwright created")
        val browserTypes: List<BrowserType> = Arrays.asList(
            playwright.chromium(),
        )
        for (browserType in browserTypes) {
            logger.info("will run test on ${browserType.name()}")
            browserType.launch().use { browser ->
                logger.info("browser started")
                val context: BrowserContext = browser.newContext()
                val page: Page = context.newPage()
                page.navigate("chrome://gpu")
            }
        }
    }

}

I created a minimalist branch from my projet to show that https://github.com/ygdrasil-io/wgpu4k/tree/feature/playwright-bugfix

Expected behavior

The gradle task should log all message and exit properly

Actual behavior

The task log an exception, the playwhright createion failed with a timeout to download the driver, but with no futher explaination

Additional context

This work on other Runner like Linux or MacOS, I also failed to reproduce on a local Windows VM.

The full trace execution can be found here https://github.com/ygdrasil-io/wgpu4k/actions/runs/9768520644

I tried with the 2019 Windows runner instead of the latest and same result :

Commencez par la tâche Gradle dans build.gradle.kts et les points d’entrée signalés, Driver.java et PlaywrightImpl.create. Reproduisez la configuration de Playwright 1.45.0 sur un Windows GitHub Actions runner, puis suivez le timeout lors de l’installation du navigateur et vérifiez que la tâche se termine avec les messages de journal attendus.
