Question

My application doesn't work in the Edge browser. but works fine in the Edge Browser(Version 105) with IE Compatibility Mode. Am using Selenium 4 with below code to launch the Edge Browser in IE Mode Note: IE 11 is not installed in the machine. After launching the browser in the IE mode getting this error message ""Internet Explorer cant be found. You need to re-install or re-enable Internet Explorer" Attached the image

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", GlobalSettings.IE_DRIVER_PATH);
        InternetExplorerOptions IEOptionsEdge = setInternetExlopererForEdge();
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IEOptionsEdge);
driver.get("https://www.bbc.co.uk/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();

private static InternetExplorerOptions setInternetExlopererForEdge() 
{
    InternetExplorerOptions IEOptions  = new InternetExplorerOptions();
    IEOptions.attachToEdgeChrome();
    IEOptions.ignoreZoomSettings();
    IEOptions.withEdgeExecutablePath("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe");
    return IEOptions;
}
