title: How to fix the org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error
body: <p>While running the below code, I am observing <code>org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error</code> exception.</p>
  
  <p>I am not able to understand why this error occurs even I am using simple driver initialization code.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Eclipse Mars 2.</p>
  
  <p>I used the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    import org.openqa.selenium.*;
      import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.*;
  
      public class APP {
  
          public static void main(String[] args) 
          {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\CDS\\Application\\chromedriver.exe");
              try {
                  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
                  driver.get("http://www.google.com");
              } catch (Exception e) {
                  // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                  System.out.println(e);
              }   
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns this error</p>
