Running Puppeteer on WSL2 controlling the Chrome on Windows

Question

I'm trying to get to run puppeteer on WSL2. I've tried using a remote display via VcXsvr but my firewall settings and host have custom changes and I've frankly given up seeing that https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps is in the works.

So in the meantime I'm trying to connect to the Windows Chrome install directly using the following test code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const EXECUTABLE_PATH = '/mnt/c/Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe';
const USER_DATA_DIR = 'C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data';


const url = process.argv[2];
console.log(url);
if (!url) {
    throw "Please provide URL as a first argument";
}
async function run () {
    try {
        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
            executablePath: EXECUTABLE_PATH,
            userDataDir: USER_DATA_DIR,  
            headless: false,
            ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions'],

        });
        const page = await browser.newPage();
        await page.goto(url);
        await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
        browser.close();
    } catch(err){
        console.log(err)
    }
}
run();

I'm seeing chrome open but then showing the following error:

Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
