Just to add. The goal is to run seleniums tests in a headless chrome on the server during a build or deployment. 

I can see that Microsoft has hosted build agents running windows server 2016 where Chrome and chromedriver is installed to run selenium tests. The difference is that this is the 1709 build of windows server, and it only comes as a core server with no UI parts that can be installed. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Just to add. 

Did this work before? Yes.  (previous version was Chrome 66.0.3359.139 Stable, and worked consistently on build machine)

After updating to Chrome Stable 68.0.3440.106 issue presented. 



OS version: Windows Server 2016 1607 (10.0.14393.2363)

Error:

13/194748.152:ERROR:main_dll_loader_win.cc(134)] Failed to load Chrome DLL from C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\68.0.3440.106\chrome.dll: The specified module could not be found. (0x7E)

We get the same error on our microsoft/windowsservercore docker containers.

We use these for running browser tests as part of our jenkins pipeline:

Hi Christop...  Did you ever have it working in your Jenkins pl and do you remember what were the versions of Chrome and the Chromedriver where it worked?  I'd try and rollback to those versions if possible to see if I get it working on windows coreserver 1709

Also - what label of the docker image are you running?  Is it the old 2016 Windows Server core, or the newer and smaller 1709?

The work around we used to get Chrome back up (ie. builds back up and running again on our Jenkins Swarms). 

- revert back to Chrome 66.0.3359.139
- disable auth-update using the registry tweak.

@ l...@factus.dk:

we're running: 'openjdk:8-windowsservercore' which iirc is windowsservercore 10.0.14393.2068

Brilliant. Thanks. Worked for me as well on Windows Server Core 1709. So can confirm this works in chrome 66.0.3359.181   But fails on 68.0.3440.106

This has been working fine for over 8 months.

My docker container is running Windows Version 10.0.14393 which I think is 1607?

When Chrome updated to 68.0.3440.106 is when it stopped working I don't know the version before this I will try and find out. This is using karma-chrome-launcher which launches chrome directly as far as I am aware so no chromedriver involved.

How did you guys go about reverting back to Chrome 66.0.3359.139? use chromium instead?

I am also seeing this issue.

I posted a stack overflow question about it as well.

we use choco for our installs, so revert was done that way - then disabled auto-updates.

But choco uses the online installer, meaning choco install googlechrome --version 66.xyz will still get you Chrome version 68. 

On the choco page it says "This package always installs the latest version of Google Chrome, regardless of the version specified in the package. Google does not officially offer older versions of Chrome for download." 

I ended up uninstalling via Choco and the going here https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php to download version 66. 

And then I started it before I followed Christop's link to how to disable automatic updates. So I got to do it two times ... :-D 

Awesome thanks l...@factus.dk will give that a go and update our docker files to not do a choco install and use that fixed version instead.

Any update on this issue? I am running into the same issue when running an automated test during a build process.

Any update? I've tried Chrome version 69.0.3497.100 and same result on Windows 2016 Core and Windows Server 1803.

@harvey  I don't think this issue has been picked up and flagged as an issue. Looking at the metadata is is "unconfirmed" and nextaction is blank. I was the original creator, and not sure how to move this forward or raise it any higher powers ... :-/

Same issue here with 1907 and chrome 69.x - was working as of chrome 67.x

Same issue with Windows 10.0.14393 and Chrome 69.0.3497.0

Has this been resolved in Chrome 70?

I can confirm having this issue with Chrome 70 in Server Core 2016 ltsb

I was able to download Chromium 72.0.3592.0 via Chocolatey and the issue is resolved in that version.

I can also confirm I was able to download Chromium 72.0.3592.0 via Chocolatey and the issue is resolved in that version.
