to the driver executable must be set' even though it is set
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8726

Thanks in advance for reading through and appreciate your help.

Test Environment:
Selenium webdriver version - Java 2.48.2
Selenium Standalone Server - selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar
OS Host machine and remote machine both - Windows 7 Professional - 32 bit
IE - 8 - precisely 8.0.7600.16358
Internet Explorer Driver Server - 2.48.0 32 bit
-------------------------------------
Settings done in IE:
Internet Options --> Security --> "Enable Protected Mode" on ALL zones is
checked
Tabs -> Settings -> Enable Tabbed Browsing - Unchecked
-------------------------------------
JDK on Host Machine and Remote Machine
> java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)
-------------------------------------
On remote machine
c:/automation folder has standalone server and IE driver
IEDriverServer.exe - 32 bit
selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar

Start the server using below command
a)
java -DWebdriver.ie.driver=C:\automation\IEDriverServer.exe -jar
selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar -timeout=20 -browserTimeout=60

Also tried as
b)
java -DWebdriver.ie.driver=IEDriverServer.exe -jar
selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar -timeout=20 -browserTimeout=60

In both cases a) & b) above ensured path of IEDriverServer.exe is added to
system PATH variable as
C:\automation\IEDriverServer.exe

After the above run the test from Host machine

--------------------------------
Test:
Simple test to open IE browser and launch Google and enter text 'selenium'
in search box and click Search button.
Refer attached java test class for the same.
Please replace remote machine IP address with your own remote machine IP.

Note same errors I observed on another remote machine with Windows 7
Ultimate 64 bit and IE version 10
In this case ensured to use IEDriverServer.exe - 64 bit

------------------------------------
Error I am getting is as below:

Oops, just realized the issue Status is marked Invalid.
Could not understand why it is marked invalid and closed and it is not
showing who marked it so.

I have already referred issues already posted related to this and tried the
settings and cross checked and still facing the issue hence posted this.

Please help.
Thanks
