Question

I been trying to make Instapy work but struck with this error.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service .\geckodriver.exe unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 3221225595

Here is some information about things I have already done;

1. Download latest version for GeckoDriver .
2. Download latest version of FireFox .
3. Installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

Waiting keenly for solution:)

Answer 1

This error message...

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service .\geckodriver.exe unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 3221225595

...implies that the GeckoDriver unexpectedly exited.

Status code: 3221225595

As per the documentation in Getting error Service geckodriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 3221225595 Status Code 3221225477 is raised in absence of VCRUNTIME140.dll .

As of now you will need to install Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable runtime on all your Windows test machines for geckodriver to work.

This issue was discussed and tracked in Bugzilla through Geckodriver windows binaries don't run anymore without having the Microsoft MSCV runtime installed .
