[Bug]: Visual Studio 2022 Playwright project by default uses old chromium version

[KyleLJohnson]

Version

1.27.1

Steps to reproduce

Steps:

1. Added Playwright project to existing solution.
2. Added tests to unit test file.
3. Ran pwsh bin/Debug/net8.0/playwright.ps1 install
4. Ran tests in Test Explorer
   Executable doesn't exist at C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\chromium-1028\chrome-win\chrome.exe

I was able to see the error when I ran the tests in VSCode.

Expected behavior

Tests should have ran successfully.

Actual behavior

Error displayed.

Executable doesn't exist at C:\Users\kyjohnso\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\chromium-1028\chrome-win\chrome.exe

Additional context

If I update the playwright nuget package, it resolves the issue.

v1.27.1 seems very old - we recommend using latest. It seems working there?
