.NET Framework

Version 4.6.1 or greater

If your machine runs Windows OS in a language other than English, install the corresponding language pack for the .Net framework version you are using.

This is required for running Studio in any of the available languages. The .Net framework and related language pack version must correspond, and any conflicting .Net framework versions installed on the machine should be removed.

Web Browsers (for browser automation)

Assistant can be installed on IPv6-compatible operating systems.

Important:
1When using unattended robots on Virtual Machines, do not leave the Azure Virtual Desktop sessions in disconnected state (user is connected to a host pool in an AVD environment, but they are still connected to the session hosts). The robot is not able to use the disconnected session as it was created via AVD and does not have access to it. Because of this, it attempts to create a new session to run the unattended job, but fails because the AVD session is already created and in disconnected state. When this scenario happens, the job eventually fails due to a time out.
