I am trying to execute the selenium web driver script in IE browser but I got this error? can any one provide the solution.

Code :

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;

public class demo3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\work\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver= new InternetExplorerDriver();     
        driver.get("http://www.msn.com");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());




    }

}

Getting Error in console and have also attached the screenshot :

  • You probably are trying to run the application compiled for 64-bit Windows under 32-bit Windows.

MicrosoftWebDriver.exe is the Edge driver, not IE driver. As others have mentioned the IE driver is called IEDriverServer.exe.

As an example of a launcher for IE:

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\DriverFiles\\IE\\x32\\IEDriverServer.exe");

// custom stuff IE needs in order to work (some only needed for Win10+)
DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability("nativeEvents", false);
ieCapabilities.setCapability("unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "accept");
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
ieCapabilities.setCapability("disable-popup-blocking", true);
ieCapabilities.setCapability("enablePersistentHover", true);
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);

// deprecated but working
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);


// Set browser defaults (maximise, clear cookies, set timeouts)
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Change the following line as

   System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\work\\IEDriverServer.exe");

The file name is IEDriverServer.exe and not MicrosoftWebDriver.exe. Check the path for IE driver.
