I get the same error: In IE 11 Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchDriverError: Unexpected error launching Intern et Explorer. Protected Mode settings are not the same for all zones. Enable Prot ected Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled) for all zones. How to solve it ?

Re: [wtr-general] Re: watir-webdriver + protected mode in XP-IE8
I'm also getting this error. I'm running my tests with taza, which opens a new browser session for each test. It doesn't happen for every test, but maybe one or two in each test run. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: watir-webdriver + protected mode in XP-IE8
It's still there in IE8. whether it enables or not depends on several things, browsing local subnet sites vs internet, settings for UAC if running of Vista or Win7, and if you started IE 'as administrator' or not. What I've found sometimes solves this kind of issue is to go into the Internet Security Properties UI and set all the zones that may be encountered when running a script to the same zone, most often 'trusted' Then also make sure your homepage, and the page displayed when any new tab is opened are also set the same way, that includes 'about:blank' and 'about:tabs. Another thing that can sometimes make a difference is opening up your command line session (that you run your scripts from) 'as administrator' as this can affect the security settings in an IE session launched via that CMD window. What's happening is that as a type of protection against cross site scripting attacks, whenever the browser changes security zones, it basically destroys the instance that was running in the old context, and creates a new one. When that happens the underlaying identification of the window changes, and watir looses connection to the browser. You need to either attach, or use the watir-webdriver methods to change to the appropriate browser window just as you would have to do if you had closed and re-opened IE. That's probably not accurate in a very technical sense, but it's close enough to understand the nature of the problem. For more info, see here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/03/11/ie8-and-loosely-coupled-ie-lcie.aspx and/or do a bunch of googling for protected/protection mode and IE8 On Oct 18, 10:45 am, RJ rj412@gmail.com wrote: Getting following error msg: Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchDriverError: Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer.
