Selenium getting error

This is my selenium test script.

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

public class Adminlogin

public static void main(String args)

//File file = new File("C:/Selenium/IEDriverServer_x64_2.53.1/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:/Selenium/IEDriverServer_x64_2.53.1/IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

//driver.close(); //Closes the browser





I am getting this error,

Follow the steps given below in the link:

Unable to create new remote session

Hope it will help!!

Well, I had a simmilar error, due to SessionNotCreatedException, caused by DesiredCapabilities discrepancy.

On further research, I went back to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver. In the "Required Configuration" section was my solution:

"Additionally, "Enhanced Protected Mode" must be disabled for IE 10 and higher. This option is found in the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog."

So, I went to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced Settings -> Security section.

Unchecked "Enable enhanced protected mode". Bingo!

I recommend you go through the "Required Configuration" section in the github link above. There might be other settings you need to apply.

even i got this error and the error msg was not clear to interpret. I then realized that IE browser capabilities had to be changed to support selenium. like zoom, protected mode ..
try changing IE settings and it should work.
