What happened?

There's an issue with my selenium where i'm unable to obtain the drive using selenium manager

How can we reproduce the issue?

webdriver_service = Service('C:\Desktop\chromedriver.exe')
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")  # Run in headless mode (without opening a browser window)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=chrome_options)

Relevant log output

Yeah this is a duplicate of #11234
Anaconda does its own packaging, and we're not sure what needs to happen so that the binary we're including with Selenium wheel gets included by Anaconda as well.
