Issue installing SeleniumBasic on Windows 11 24H2

[vbrad]

For webpage form filling I've been using SeleniumBasic https://github.com/florentbr/SeleniumBasic

I use the supplied script file install.cmd, linked below to carry out the installation of SeleniumBasic

https://gist.github.com/florentbr/6b...eece6b4acb8ba7

It has worked successfully for me until Win 11 24H2 which was rolled out this October

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_11,_version_24H2

It now fails on this line:

call :get_version _VERSION %_FILES% || goto :failed

and gives an error message:

Error failed to read version of file filepath/filename

where the file can be any of these four: Selenium.dll, Selenium32.tlb, Selenium64.tlb, or Selenium.pdb

I changed the order in which the files are referenced and it still gave an error on the first file referenced.
I've also tried running install.cmd in an administrator command prompt window without any effect.

I've had this issue on 3 PCs so far, all running win 11 24H2 (one Home edition and two Pro Edition).


I'd be very grateful for any suggestions anyone might have as to how to try to get around this.

maybe you can try this:https://github.com/GCuser99/SeleniumVBA

I'm wondering if maybe the "version" in the error string is the WebDriver version? Have you been downloading the most recent WebDriver versions to keep up with Browser version changes?

This looks very interesting. I'm going to try it out, thanks.

Hi thanks for your suggestion. That's not the issue I think because I try to install selenium with the current version of the webdriver rather than the bundled one.

we can semd json str to debug port,so no need Selenium,only chromedriver.exe
maybe we need 100-1000 JSON CMD LIST

clickitem:LocalURL = mBaseLocalURL & ":" & mPort & "/session/" & SessionId & "/element/" & strID & "/click"

Gettitle
mBaseLocalURL & ":" & mPort & "/session/" & SessionId & "/title"
