microsoft edge

Question

I am using edge 121.0.2277.106 on Windows 10 Enterprise. i dowloaded, extracted and attempted to install the edge webdriver that matches the edge version I am using (https://msedgewebdriverstorage.z22.web.core.windows.net/?prefix=121.0.2277.106/). I opened the .exe as administrator and the install started but it doesn't install. I get no error message and I can't find anything under c:/Program Files. Can you help me resolve this, it's blocking some critical work.

I get the following message: Starting Microsoft Edge WebDriver 121.0.2277.106 (3a400d91a814d2e1ecd0889edbdb8c72f39eed8b) on port 9515

Hi @kimzzz

Why do you want to install Edge WebDriver? Do you want to automate Edge browser? If so, you could follow the steps in this doc: Use WebDriver to automate Microsoft Edge.

You don't need to "install" Edge WebDriver. First you could download and extract the msedgedriver executable. Then add the folder where the executable is located to your PATH environment variable.

Second you just need to use Selenium 4 to automate Edge. You could follow the code sample in the doc to automate Edge.
