How to run Protractor specs on IE 11?

Question

I have been trying to run protractor specs on IE 11,with following conf.js:

 multiCapabilities: [
       {
        'browserName': 'internet explorer',
         version: 11,
         'ignoreProtectedModeSettings': true
       // 'idle-duration':10000,
    }, 
    }],

And added this as well:

 seleniumArgs: 'C:/Users/LJQAuser/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/IEDriverServer.exe',

And set directConnect to : false

But still its showing error:

Error in console is: [12:38:42] I/local - Starting selenium standalone server... [12:38:43] E/launcher - Error: Error: Server terminated early with status 1 at earlyTermination.catch.e (C:\Users\LJQAuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\remote\index.js:252:52) at :null:null at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

Closing report [12:38:43] E/launcher - Process exited with error code 100
