Unable to launch IE browser - IllegalStateException while working with Internet Explorer browser in selenium

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException :The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver.

Here is my code :

File file = new File("C://Users//ctsuser//Downloads//selenium//IEDriverServer//IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("Webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath() );
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Yes this is common issue when you use IE. As mention above it should be 'webdriver.ie.driver', but onlt this change won't work.

Open regedit.exe

Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones

So Zones will contain 0,1,2,3,4 and on right hand side three columns will be visible as soon as you click on 0 i.e. Name Type Data

Now in Name column look for 2500 Double click it. Put Value data as 3 and Base as Hexadecimal

You did this for 0.

Now repeat the same steps for 1,2,3,4..

Do this for all i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5 => Change all 2500's value data to 3.

Do reply whether the problem was solved or not.. I'll help you .. Happy Learning.. enjoy :-)

As per provided code, you used Capital 'W' in setProperty. In thrown exception it saying use

'webdriver.ie.driver'

please change it. it will solve the issue.

Thank You, Murali
