Answer 1

You need to check your ChromeDriver path.

For this example code,

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D://selenium/chromedriver.exe");
cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.WINDOWS);
browser = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/hub"),cap);

Check and ensure that the chromedriver.exe file is actually available on the said path ("D://selenium/chromedriver.exe") and has executable permission assigned to it.

This whould help resolve your issue.
