Opening Instagram with Selenium webdriver Python

I want to log in to Instagram with selenium webdriber. I wrote a code but It always opens just google chrome page, without going to Instagram page. I have tried to change to .sleep() time but It is always the same.

from selenium import webdriver
import time

class InstagramBot:

     def __init__(self, username, password):

          self.username = username
          self.password = password
          self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\xxx\xxx\xxx\chrome.exe")

     def closeBrowser(self):
          self.driver.close()

     def login(self):
          driver = self.driver
          driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
          time.sleep(5)

IGBot = InstagramBot("xxx", "yyy")
IGBot.login()

Also I have tried with \chrome.exe and with \chrome, and with "www.instagram.com". After 5 seconds, I get this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service C:\Program Files (x86)\xxx\xxx\xxxx\chrome.exe unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 0

This line

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\xxx\xxx\xxx\chrome.exe")

should be

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "C:\complete\path\to\chromedriver.exe")

Note not to confuse "chrome.exe" with "chromedriver.exe" in Selenium context.
