I am getting the following error, i am not certain that i am running it correctly tho.
also it seems to me that setuptools is missing from the requirements.

the issue was that chrome was not installed on my device in the way that the library was expecting.
i installed ungoogled-chromium via chocolatey and declared the path found with

py
>>> import shutil
>>> print(shutil.which("chrome"))
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\chrome.EXE

set it in the binary variable added in the PR and voila.

Btw nice project i had a look a couple of month ago on doing exactly this but when looking at the source code of the pages of find my device i could not see anything that could have been exploited

i will order a bluetooth tracker to see if this project works well and could be a replacement to my tile tracker scraping tool

Openhaystack is a bit too much hassle as it requires a dedicated VM running 24/7.

if you need any help just give shout :)

Great that it works for you now. I also tried to debug this issue today. Weirdly, for my system it would not work if I set the path. Therefore, I only added a console print if Chrome is not detected on the system. In this case, your solution if offered. That's some python library weirdness, haha.

Regarding your project - Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but so far, the network quality of Google's Find My seems to be lacking. Sadly, it aggressively drops sightings from other devices.
