I was hitting this same error and then found this question. In my case, it turned out that I had the 64 bit version of the IEDriver.exe on my system, but I was on a 32 bit windows platform. So this error was indicating that the OS failed to execute the driver program. I tried to run the driver directly in a command prompt to see that infact the 32 bit OS was not recognizing the 64 bit driver exe as an executable program.

Getting the correct 32 bit IEDriver.exe solved my problem.
