Edge Driver : The program cant start because msldso.dll is missing from your computer

[sauravkumar05]

I noticed that when edge driver is downloaded using webdrivermanager code then the exe file that is download is complaining about the dll missing in the computer whereas if i manually download the webdriver exe from the microsoft site https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/ - Version: 3.14393 | Edge version supported: 14.14393 | and then try to execute the exe and it doesn't have any problem with the execution

Adding more info to the previous issue - I started looking at the code and i noticed that if i run a code as junit for your getDrivers method in EdgeDriverManager then the path created in .m2 is "C:\Users<username>.m2\repository\webdriver\MicrosoftWebDriver\3.14393\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe" whereas if i use your latest wdm release through pom and set it up then the path created for edge driver after download is "C:\Users<username>.m2\repository\webdriver\MicrosoftWebDriver\Try Microsoft Edge, a fast and secure browser that's designed for Windows 10Get started\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe" and the size of the downloaded file also seems to be different

I think this is related to #101 and #103. It should be fixed in the latest stable version (1.5.1 at writing time).

The same error on Version: 4.15063 but in Version: 3.14393 works fine

This seems to be a recurring issue whenever there is an update to the Edge Browser. Right now, I have Edge 20.10240.17146 the most recent MicrosoftWebDriver seems to be 16257. Will the new WebDriver be coming out soon? Is there a way to prevent this every time Edge Updates?

Also having the same issue

Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0
Microsoft EdgeHTML 14.14393

Any one knows how to fix?
Thanks.

@soul3510 First, ensure you are using the latest version of WebDriverManager (1.7.2 at the moment of this writing).

Then, you need to know which version of the Edge binary is required. To do it by checking the Edge WebDriver page. In your case (Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0, Microsoft EdgeHTML 14.14393), the version is 3.14393. So, you need to specify the version to WebDriverManager as follows:

EdgeDriverManager.getInstance().version("3.14393").setup();

Here you can find a working example.
