I am trying to use pythons selenium for Microsoft edge but I keep getting this error:

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot find Microsoft Edge binary

I downloaded the latest version of the edge driver. Here is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote import webelement
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pandas as pd
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import os
from datetime import datetime
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChainsdriver = webdriver.Edge(executable_path = 'C:\\Users\\Downloads\\edgedriver_win32\\msedgedriver.exe')
def get_trulia_estimate(address):driver.get('https://www.trulia.com/')print(address)element = (By.ID, 'homepageSearchBoxTextInput')WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(element)).click()WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(element)).send_keys(address)search_button = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-auto-test-id='searchButton']")WebDriverWait(driver, 50).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(search_button)).click()time.sleep(3) 

This post is quite old now, but hopefully I can help anyone that stumbles upon the same issue in future!

The problem is that you're using the wrong webdriver. Edge exists in two different versions, implemented on two non-interchangeable engines -- Chromium Edge and EdgeHTML (the default version at the time of writing). Each of these two versions has a different webdriver associated with it, with Chromium Edge's being "msedgedriver.exe", and EdgeHTML's being "MicrosoftWebDriver.exe".

You are using the EdgeHTML version of Edge, while trying to run the Chromium Edge webdriver. The 'cannot find Microsoft Edge binary' error Selenium spits out comes from this.

Luckily it is easy to install the right webdriver. If you have a Edge 17 or older, you can install the driver here. Make sure you download the EdgeHTML driver, not the Chromium driver, and add it to your PATH. For Edge 18 and later, you don't have to download anything. Simply run in the command prompt the command: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Microsoft.WebDriver~~~~0.0.1.0.
