I'm new to power automate desktop and have been trying to create a basic flow that extracts data from a web page, but every time I try, I get an error when I select the data to extract.
I add the action to the flow, then the dialog box appears and I have to wait a while for the live web helper to appear. Once that appears, I can hover over what I want to extract, right click and select "Extract element value" and then the value I want. Once I click it, the following error appears in window titled "Unhandled error"
Message = Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.UIAutomation.WebAutomation.Core.Browser.WebHelperBrowserExtensions.HighlightAndExtractRecordsAsStringifiedJSon(Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.UIAutomation.WebAutomation.Core.Browser.Abstractions.IWebBrowserHelper, Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.UIAutomation.WebAutomation.Abstractions.ExtractDataFromWebPageMode, System.String, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1<System.ValueTuple`2<System.String,System.String>>)'.

I've tried google but didn't get any hits.
I original installed PAD from the store, but was having other issues, which I looked up and it was suggested to uninstall the store version and install the version from the Microsoft site, which I've done. I'm running version 2.37.123.23280
