So I am using Visual Studio and have installed Specflow Extension, Specflow Project and there is a Class Library project which contains a Method to Launch a Chrome Driver. The test I have written with Specflow is;

    LaunchDriver launchDriver = new LaunchDriver() ;

    [Given(@"I Launch a Chrome Driver")]
    public void GivenILaunchAChromeDriver()
    {
        launchDriver.LaunchChrome();
    }

The code of LaunchDriver Class is : public class LaunchDriver { public IWebDriver webDriver;

    public void LaunchChrome()
    {
        string PathtoChromeExe = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\";
        webDriver = new ChromeDriver(PathtoChromeExe);
        webDriver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
        webDriver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
        webDriver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
    }

}

}

When I try to run this test via Test Explorer, I am seeing the test has failed due to following error

Launch Driver and Navigate to Google.com Duration: 378 ms

  Message: 
    The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chromedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

  Stack Trace: 
    OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chromedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
    DriverService.ctor(String servicePath, Int32 port, String driverServiceExecutableName, Uri driverServiceDownloadUrl)

    ChromeDriverService.ctor(String executablePath, String executableFileName, Int32 port)
    ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(String driverPath, String driverExecutableFileName)
    ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(String driverPath)

The Chrome driver which I need launching, its filename is chrome.exe in the path I have specified, but for some reason the Specflow or the System is looking for chromedriver.exe to launch which it cannot find. How do I configure my code to launch the chrome.exe and not chromedriver.exe?
