I am attempting to start the bot with the Windows bat file, but crashes immidiatelly with the above errorlog.

[goedzo]

I think a captcha is shown here, but since i see this:

Error with Chromedriver, please ensure it is the latest version.
I suspect you need to update chrome driver to display the captcha?

[rakuuhwa]

After i deleted the file, the bot still displays the error message below that.

[MerlionRock]

For manual solving of Captcha to work, you will need to install Chromedriver to the root folder of your pokemon go folder.

See this #6050

To download the chromedriver: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

[MerlionRock]

#6219 Added instruction to installation guides

[rakuuhwa]

@MerlionRock and @goedzo
The issue persists after the deletion of the chromedriver. the error message is the same.

[MerlionRock]

@rakuuhwa You mean you have chrome driver installed in root folder of the bot but still sees the error?

If you delete the driver, the error message will definitely be there. You need to login to phone to solve the captcha before you can continue.

[MerlionRock]

@rakuuhwa Can you try this?

1. Make sure you have Chrome installed on your computer
2. Install chrome driver for Windows from here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
   make sure it chromedriver.exe is at root folder of the bot
3. Go to requirements.txt and change "selenium==2.53.6" to "selenium==3.5.0"
4. Follow the update instruction for the bot for Windows here: https://github.com/PokemonGoF/PokemonGo-Bot/blob/master/docs/manual_installation.md

Let me know if it solve the problems as I am on a different OS as you and I don't have any account that faces the captcha problem

errorLog.txt
What i was trying to say, have completely erased all traces of the chrome form my pc, and the error is still dropping the same error after the most perfect pokemon line.

Fixed. Closing issue
