"Command line server for the IE driver has stopped working" with IEDriverServer.exe since upgrade to 2.53.0.0

See original GitHub issue

Meta -

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit Selenium Version: 2.53.0.0 Browser: IE Browser Version: IE 11.0.9600.17801

Expected Behavior -

Tests to run reliably on build server

Actual Behavior -

Tests fail sporadically with “Command line server for the IE driver has stopped working”

Steps to reproduce -

Migrate to 2.53.0.0 Use IEDriver - these are my packages:

  <package id="Selenium.Support" version="2.53.0" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Selenium.WebDriver" version="2.53.0" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Selenium.WebDriver.IEDriver" version="2.53.0.0" targetFramework="net452" />

I’m going to try and rollback to using 2.50.1 (which I don’t remember presenting this error)
