    {
      "browserName": "chrome",

Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=.\\drivers\\chromedriver_2.25.exe" : "" is not a valid entry for the node config.

Set the system property on the command line when starting the node -- like this

java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./drivers/chromedriver_2.25.exe \
  -jar .\selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar \
  -role node \
  -nodeConfig node_config.json \
  -debug > .\debug\nodeDebugOutput.txt 2>&1

Thank you, this was very helpful. And for anyone else with a similar issue, note, that you can include multiple -Dwebdriver..driver parameters for each browser you plan on supporting.
