In the first error, it says that Python can't find the file, make sure the file exist, or try to use double / instead.

Second, You need to download a driver for Chrome in order to run the JavaScript engine. Once you download it, you need to provide the full path to it or add to your PATH variable in your system.

I can see that you are using Windows, so How to set a new variable in PATH?

driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Will automatically find the webdriver executable
