[selenium] Where to find 64 bit version of chromedriver.exe for Selenium WebDriver?

Can anybody tell where I can find 64 bit version of chromedriver.exe? I tried it with 32bit also but it doesn't call main method.

This question is related to selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-chromedriver

The answer is


There is no separate 64-bit version of Chromedriver. The version available at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads works on both 32 and 64-bit Windows, against either 32-or 64-bit Chrome.

This was confirmed in the Chromedriver issue tracker: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1797#c1

Yes, Chromedriver works on 64-bit Windows and against 64-bit Chrome successfully.

I came here while searching for the answer to if it works on 64-bit Chrome following the announcement that from version 58 Chrome will default to 64-bit on Windows provided certain conditions are met:
https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2017/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html

In order to improve stability, performance, and security, users who are currently on 32-bit version of Chrome, and 64-bit Windows with 4GB or more of memory and auto-update enabled will be automatically migrated to 64-bit Chrome during this update. 32-bit Chrome will still be available via the Chrome download page.


You will find newest version of the chromedriver here: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html - there is a 64bit version for linux.


Windows 8 64bit runs both 32bit and 64bit applications. You want chromedriver 32bit for the 32bit version of chrome you're using.

The current release of chromedriver (v2.16) has been mentioned as running much smoother since it's older versions (there were a lot of issues before). This post mentions this and some of the slight differences between chromedriver and running the normal firefox driver:

What you mentioned about "doesn't call main method" is an odd remark. You may want to elaborate.


In the below mentioned link, ChromeDriver.exe for Windows 32 bit exist.

http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.24/

It is working for me in Win7 64 bit.


There is no separate chromedriver binary for Windows 64 bit. Chromedriver 32 bit binary works for both 32 as well as 64 bit versions of Windows. As of today, you can find the latest version of chromedriver Windows binary at https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.25/chromedriver_win32.zip
