IE9 + Win7 - Protected Mode settings are not the same for all zones

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 4249

Versions:
Selenium 2.24.0,
IEDriverServer  2.24.2,
IE 9, Win7

Using C#, the code to ignore protected mode settings in IE doesn’t seem to have an
effect and I’m receiving the following error  -->

Test(s) failed. System.InvalidOperationException : Unexpected error launching Internet
Explorer. Protected Mode settings are not the same for all zones. Enable Protected
Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled) for all zones. (NoSuchDriver)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute,
Dictionary`2 parameters)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver..ctor(ICommandExecutor commandExecutor,
ICapabilities desiredCapabilities)

Code that's been tried  ::
    var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
        options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings 
             = true;
       IWebDriver _driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
       return _driver;

With this code implemented there is the issue of Selenium timing out waiting for server
response  -->

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : No response from server for url http://ect...

The only work around so far has been setting the zones in the IE options, which is
not an option for us outside of a test lab environment.

Can you please increase the logging level for the driver and show what the output of
the log file is? You can do this in the .NET bindings (2.25) with the following code:

DriverService service = InternetExplorerDriverService(@"C:\path\to\directory\containing\IEDriverServer");
service.LogFile = @"C:\path\and\file\name\of\log.txt";
service.LoggingLevel = InternetExplorerDriverLogLevel.Trace;

var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true;

IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(service, options, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60));

Thanks for the reply.  Is this C# code?  I'm not able to implement it in VS.

Yes, this is C# code. What does "not able to implement" mean? This should be fine in
2.25.1 of the .NET bindings.

Implementing the first line :

DriverService service = InternetExplorerDriverService
(@"C:\path\to\directory\containing\IEDriverServer");

This generates "class name not valid" on InternetExplororDriverService

---------  
Best guess changed to :

DriverService service = InternetExplorerDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"C:\path\to\directory\containing\IEDriverServer");

This works, however service.LogFile and Service.LogginLevel error out : “Cannot Resolve
Symbol”.

Please update to 2.25

Still receiving the same error.   The "InternetExplorerDriverService" appears to be
private when I looked at the selenium source.  Are there other ways of getting this
information?

I am also getting error
Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Protected Mode settings are not the same
for all zones. Enable Protected Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled)
for all zones. (NoSuchDriver)

Code as 

    [TestClass]
    public class Testing
    {
        private IWebDriver driver;
        private const string IE_DRIVER_PATH = @"C:\Users\nitinahu\Downloads\";

        [TestMethod]
        public void SetUp()
        {

        }

        [TestMethod]
        public void TestGoogle()
        {

            driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IE_DRIVER_PATH);
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.co.in");
            /*
            *   Rest of the test
            */

        }
