Your Opera is installed to a directory to which OperaDriver cannot write.  If you use an Opera installed to a writable directory or run your code as Administrator, that should solve it.\r\n\r\nThe core of the issue is that Opera 11.5x does not support specifying which profile to use during startup, meaning it will (on Windows) write to C:\\Program Files\\Opera\\.autotestprofile (or something similar).  Specifying this is supported in 11.60 Beta and in Opera Next 12.x.\r\n\r\nYou can get Opera 12 from here: http://www.opera.com/browser/next/\r\n\r\nWith Opera 12 you should have no issues, as it writes the profile to a writable temporary directory.\r\n\r\nSee this for more reference: https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver/issues/8","id":2696696,"created_at":"2011-11-10T15:41:34Z"}}
