Description

The last few days it wasn't a problem to run the program. Today I'm getting the following error:

Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

I've installed the latest version of chromedriver.

Research direction

Start with quickstart.py and the set_selenium_local_session entry points shown in instapy/browser.py and instapy/instapy.py, then reproduce the Windows Python 3.7 launch using the reported chromedriver version. Done means identifying the cause of the missing Chrome binary error and documenting or correcting the setup path, with a successful local browser start.
