Keep getting this error. Chromedriver permission error.

[goldenm...@gmail.com]

I keep getting this error. 

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver_win32' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

I can't seem to find any answers anywhere. Any ideas.

Right click on the binary and go into security settings and make sure the binary is executable.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

I was getting this error when the chrome_driver was not being found in my path. You may find it helpful to set the executable_path explicitly.

executable_path = '/mnt/c/Users/michael/chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path)

What do you mean by "binary"? I am having the same error message and I checked in the permissions and everything is set to work for all users (of which I am the only one).

2 years, a lot of searches and even Gemini responses and a little bit of common sense later, the following worked for me (at least on Windows)

-> Navigate to selenium chrome driver folder (C:\Users\***\selenium\chromedriver\win64, or wherever you have have it installed.)

-> Check the latest folder version (which is the chrome driver version)

-> Check google Chrome version from chrome://settings/help

-> Mine didn't match. Google chrome was on an older version because (apparently) I never updated or even reloaded the application. 

-> Once update and reload is complete, re-run your program that uses selenium and you should be good to go!
