protractor/selenium “could not find chromedriver at” (on Windows)

Question

I installed protractor following this tutorial and when i use webdriver-manager update it says:

selenium standalone is up to date.
chromedriver is up to date.
         


        

Answer 1

The standalone selenium file was corrupt so i had to overwrite it, copying it into the folder directly.

C:/Users/****/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/protractor/selenium/

Also i had to rename the chromedriver so it is actually called "chromedriver" and not "chromedriver.exe".

C:/Users/****/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/protractor/selenium/chromedriver

This partially happened because i did not set the proxy in webdriver. You can see the Solution for this in the accepted answer.
