title: protractor/selenium "could not find chromedriver at" (on Windows)
body: <p>I installed protractor following <a href="https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-getting-started-with-protractor" rel="noreferrer">this tutorial</a> and when i use webdriver-manager update it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>selenium standalone is up to date.
  chromedriver is up to date.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thou when i try to run the protractor tests, it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\lib\driverProviders\local.dp.js:42
              throw new Error('Could not find chromedriver at ' +
                    ^
      Error: Could not find chromedriver at C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium\chromedriver.exe

  <p>I checked the <em>local.dp.js</em> and saw that it tried to load the chromedriver from <em>..\node_modules\protractor\selenium\chromedriver</em> but there only was an empty zip file called <em>chromedriver_2.9</em>. </p>
  
  <p>So i downloaded the chromedriver manually and copied it to this location, producing a new error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\webdriver\promise.js:1549
        throw error;
              ^
