I have written a sample code to launch IE browser
and load google page.
public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
package tests;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","C:\\Automation Workspace\\ComplianceDashboardProject\\Vendor\\IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.quit();
}
}
I did the above and got it to work. Maybe try moving your driver file to another location to make sure there isn't some security issue.
