How do I go about setting the "webdriver.chrome.driver" system property

directory as my tests and creating ChromeDriver directly. However,
switching to RemoteWebDriver and running the Selenium Server jar, I get

SetUp : System.InvalidOperationException : The path to the driver
executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for

Just have the directory where it is located in your system PATH settings
and it will find it on its own. In my case all Selenium test code and
binaries are in a network mount that all my test systems have mounted, so I
update the network volume and they all get it.

By using PATH you won't ever have to change your code because you moved
the location of chromedriver.exe on your test system.

Setting path would be the best option. But wasn't there another option, I believe also discussed on the wiki, but a bit overlooked (I overlooked it myself earlier):

Using the command line options of the Selenium server jar for remote and grid tests:

-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=c:\chrome\chromedriver.exe

using that you won't have to deal with it in code (for remote/grid tests only) and manage it in your server startup config/code.

Mike, sorry should have mentioned - already tried putting chromedriver.exe
into system32 (and can run fine from console window) but I still got the
error? Is there anything else I should be checking here? Many thanks

Thanks Santosh, but that's a java specific option I believe and I'm using
.net - hence the confusion :)
