IELaunchURL() returned HRESULT 80070012...what could be causing this?

[Jeff]

Odd exception running on IE11/Win8.1 via RemoteWebDriver.  Anyone know what this means?  It only happens occasionally but it seems to happen more after running a few test runs against the selenium grid node.

Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. IELaunchURL() returned HRESULT 80070012 ('There are no more files.') for URL 'http://localhost:26916/' (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

I tried that earlier and it didn't work.  I'll get the exact error in the morning, though I think it was similar.

I am seeing the same issue" Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. IELaunchURL() returned HRESULT 80070012 ('There are no more files.') for URL 'http://localhost:62409/' (NoSuchDriver)" 

I tried ie.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.FORCE_CREATE_PROCESS, true); and its not fixing the issue.  

Can anyone help?

If you upgrade or degrade the native IE browser which was installed during OS installation it will not allow opening the spoon browsers. Every time we need to make the default IE browser then it will work.

Suppose while you installed the OS the default IE version is IE8 and you upgraded to IE9 for some purpose. In this case it won’t allow navigating any application in the Spoon browsers (only browser will open up) and it will simply throw the error message like “Unexpected error launching internet explorer IELaunchURL error returned 80070012”.

Note that the solution referred to here would only apply if you're using the product from Spoon that claims to allow you to run multiple versions of IE from the same Windows OS installation. This configuration is entirely unsupported for use with the IE driver, and I would personally go a different route.

To be perfectly clear, the IE driver works just fine on installs where the browser has been upgraded to a newer version.

For me this very same message appeared when trying to execute the Selenium tests from a "psexec -i 0" environment. Tests with Chrome were running fine, but IE11 was not able to open a window. This was fixed by using "psexec \\localhost -i 0"! I cannot tell the actual reason or what the difference in the resulting environment actually is, but maybe it helps someone else as well.
