problem on win7x64 is not a valid win32 application

12:32:55.383 ERROR - org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Execution failed (Exit value: -559038737. Caused by java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\aris\AppDa
ta\Roaming\npm\phantomjs" (in directory "."): CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application)

phantomjs installed without errrors and so is npm. running the standalone selenium server and connecting to it produces this error.

I think you trying to launch Linux binary file. Please check that executable file is presented.

[arisAlexis]

executable file is present and runnable through command prompt. if you google this bug it's all over the place but reported in different packages.

c:\Users\aris\AppData\Roaming\npm>phantomjs
phantomjs>

Could it be a permission issue? See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6674431/possible-causes-of-java-io-ioexception-createprocess-error-5.

no but solved. downloaded version for windows in the path works ok. npm install -g phantomjs and the resulting installation (that has permissions etc and is in the path) not working for win7x64 out of the box

Hi arisAlexis , can you give more explanation about resolving this problem on win7x64 (without admin permissions)?

[arisAlexis]

I just downloaded the phantomjs package and installed it normally. Don't use the npm install, something is broken there.

I was still having this problem when running webdriver-manager - It seems like it's trying to start the unix version instead of the windows .cmd version that is installed. I got around this by just deleting the non cmd version.

Please delete if this is not applicable here as it seems more like a webdriver-manager issue.
