Cannot find chrome binary Selenium Webdriver



This is a very basic error that you find when you try and setup the Selenium framework on new machines.
"Unknown error - Cannot find chrome binary: Selenium...."

Even though you have chrome running on your machine and the chromedriver.exe working fine this error haunts for sometime, until you realize that all you need to do is re-install a local copy of chrome.
You can also copy Google Chrome to a local folder within the machine and change the class-path.

Simple error but sometimes gets annoying.

Happy automation!
