I am getting the following error:

Answer 1

Here's a simple C# example of how to call the InternetExplorerDriver using the IEDriverServer.exe.

Refactor according to your needs.

Note: the use of driver.Quit() which ensures that the IEDriverServer.exe process is closed, after the test has finished.

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

namespace SeleniumTest
{
    [TestClass]
    public class IEDriverTest
    {
        private const string URL = "http://url";
        private const string IE_DRIVER_PATH = @"C:\PathTo\IEDriverServer.exe";

        [TestMethod]
        public void Test()
        {
            var options = new InternetExplorerOptions()
            {
                InitialBrowserUrl = URL,
                IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true
            };
            var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IE_DRIVER_PATH, options);
            driver.Navigate();
            driver.Close(); // closes browser
            driver.Quit(); // closes IEDriverServer process
        }
    }
}
