Unable to either launch or connect to chrome

[Aaron]

Hi,
'Windows Server 2008 R2', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '6.1',
java.version: '1.6.0_23'
Selenium RC2
chromedriver_win32_13.0.775.0.zip

I get the following error:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Unable to either launch or
connect to Chrome. Please check that ChromeDriver is up-to-date

after a running a test and waiting several minutes.

Then I notice several instances of chromedriver.exe running in the
taskmanager.

The weird thing is a few days ago, I was able to launch chrome and run
tests with the same exact setup. Not sure what changed or what
happened.

I point to chromedriver like this:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\" + username
+ "\\workspace\\jig\\lib\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");

before I instantiate the ChromeDriver and have confirmed that the
chromedriver is in that location by printing out the system property
and then running the path in Windows run dialog.

Is this not supposed to work on 64bit OS? I see by the name of the
file it seems to be geared towared 32 bit, but that doesn't explain
why it was working fine a few days ago.

I read in another post something about the webdriver.exe file needing
to be in the same directory as webdriver.dll, which I don't
understand. I did try putting the chromedriver.exe in the same
directory as the selenium rc2 jar, but again no dice.

Below is the full stack trace:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Unable to either launch or
connect to Chrome. Please check that ChromeDriver is up-to-date

Hate to bump, but would really love to upgrade to RC2, but can't get
Chrome to work. Any help would be much much appreciated.

+1 having the same issue. Did you manage to fix this?
