Issue with Chrome Driver and Chrome binaries

1

I decided to have a portable version of chrome along with my chrome driver for my web-scraper in a folder. I then initiate selenium driver and give the binary location as well as driver location to it to initiate a session using

`browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver, chrome_options=chromeOptions)`

here are the versions for driver and chrome:

Chrome (portable binary) version: Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chrome Driver Version: 2.45.615291

It gives me this error when I run it:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.45.615291 (ec3682e3c9061c10f26ea9e5cdcf3c53f3f74387),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64)

python-3.x selenium google-chrome selenium-chromedriver
