How can I start InternetExplorerDriver using Selenium WebDriver

Question

I downloaded the driver and I gave the exact path in my code but when I ran the code it shows me error

my code with java is as below:

System.out.println("Internet Explorer is selected");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","C:\\Program Files\\Selenium\\Drivers\\IEDriver\\IEDriverServer.exe");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.datamoat.com/");

and the error message is

org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Protected Mode settings are not the same for all zones.

Answer 1

It needs to set same Security level in all zones. To do that follow the steps below:

1.Open IE

2.Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security

3.Set all zones (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, Restricted sites) to the same protected mode, enabled or disabled should not matter.

Finally, set Zoom level to 100% by right clicking on the gear located at the top right corner and enabling the status-bar. Default zoom level is now displayed at the lower right.
