Way 1:
i) Extract the downloaded zip file in a directory/location of your choice
ii) Set the executable path in your code as below:
self.driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path='D:\Selenium_RiponAlWasim\Drivers\IEDriverServer_x64_2.42.0\IEDriverServer.exe')
OR,
self.driver = webdriver.Ie("D:\\Selenium_RiponAlWasim\\Drivers\IEDriverServer_x64_2.42.0\\IEDriverServer.exe")
Way 2:
