[satish ranjan]

Hi All,

I am not able to Launch a Web Based Application using Gecko Driver.
Below is the code which i am using.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\SATISH\\Selenium\\geckodriver-v0.16.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/");

I get below Exception

Hello sathish, 

 This is caused may be the version compatibility issue. What is you browser's version, if the version is more than 53, then use latest gecko driver 0.17.0. 

Thanks,
