The error says that you need to have the IEDriverServer.exe on the machine where you're trying to run the jar file. — Krishna Pradyumna Mokshagundam, May 11 '17 at 05:51

Yes you will have to put the driver files on all those system on which you want to run your application, you could do this manually or you could automate this task using you jar itself,

Step 1 : You can add resources to your jar then,

Step 2 : You can copy that resource to the system from the JAR

The copying should be a one time process, you can handle this by creating some static information on the machine whenever you application is run first time.

you could use the following link:
