Go through the more information link.
It should clarify all your doubts.

Using IE with Webdriver is not as simple as it is with Firefox. :)

Ankit,

I believe you are new to web driver. Please understand the exception
message in your code.
It clearly says that *"The path to the driver executable must be set by the
webdriver.ie.driver system property; for more information, see
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver. The latest
version can be downloaded from
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list"*

So you need to set the path of IEDriverServer.exe before you instantiate
your IE browser.


1. Download IEDriverServer.exe file 32/64 bit from the seleniumhq.org site
2. Now extract that downloaded folder to any location
3. Now add the following code before your InternetExplorerDriver start

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","path to the
IEDriverServer.exe file")

//Example

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

I suggest you to please search in google before posting your queries. I am
not stopping you to post queries. But before posting please have a look in
google. Really you can find number of solutions.
