Installing UiPath Assistant

Install UiPath Assistant 2026.10, with Delegate, on Windows with the UiPath Platform Installer, on the long-term support update channel.

Assistant 2026.10 is installed with the UiPath Platform Installer. The Platform Installer installs the UiPath desktop clients, including Studio, Robot, Assistant, and the browser extensions, and keeps them up to date on the update channel you install from.

To stay on Assistant 2026.10, install from the Enterprise LTS (26.10 line) channel, which receives patch updates for 2026.10 only. For details about the channels, refer to Update channels.

Delegate

Assistant 2026.10 brings Delegate. It installs with Assistant from the Platform Installer, and you switch between Assistant and Delegate from the title bar of the Assistant window.

Delegate is an AI agent that runs on your desktop and operates your applications, documents, and business systems to complete the tasks you describe. For details, refer to the Delegate user guide.

Delegate requires a user license. For licensing, sign-in, and its own requirements, refer to Install and update in the Delegate guide.

Prerequisites

• A machine that meets the hardware and software requirements.
• The UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi installer for the Enterprise LTS (26.10 line) channel, available at https://download.uipath.com/connected-installer/latest/lts-26-10/UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi.
• Administrator rights, for a per-machine installation.

Installation scope

The Platform Installer installs either for the current user or for all users of the machine:

Scope	Default installation folder	Administrator rights
Per user	%LocalAppData%\Programs\UiPathPlatform	Not required
Per machine	%ProgramFiles%\UiPathPlatform	Required

Each desktop client is installed in its own subfolder, named after the client and its version, for example %ProgramFiles%\UiPathPlatform\Assistant\<version>.

When an administrator runs the installer interactively, it installs per machine. To install per user as an administrator, run the installer from the command line with FORCE_PERUSER=1. For details, refer to Install from the command line.

Installing Assistant

1. Run UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi. To install per machine, run it as an administrator.

2. Select Assistant in the list of desktop clients. Assistant depends on the Robot, so selecting it also selects Robot and the browser extensions.

3. In the Robot settings, set the options you need. For a per-machine installation, select Attended as the Robot type, and optionally select Automatically Start Assistant with Windows. For all Robot options, refer to Robot options in the Robot guide.

4. Accept the terms in the License Agreement, and follow the prompts to finish the installation.

For the installer's own screens and options, refer to Install the desktop clients.

Result

Assistant and Delegate are installed on the Enterprise LTS 26.10 channel, together with the Robot. The Platform Installer downloads the full client builds the first time. Later 2026.10 patches are applied as delta updates in the background, once automatic updates are turned on: they are off by default on the LTS channel.

To connect Assistant to Orchestrator, refer to Signing In to Your Account.

Offline installer

An offline, all-in-one installer, UiPathPlatformOffline.exe, is also available at https://download.uipath.com/connected-installer/latest/lts-26-10/UiPathPlatformOffline.exe. The offline installer doesn't connect to an update channel.

To update an offline installation, run a newer UiPathPlatformOffline.exe. For the parameters the offline installer supports, refer to Offline installer.

Upgrading from a classic MSI installation

When you run the Platform Installer on a machine where Assistant was installed with UiPathStudio.msi or UiPathRobot.msi, it migrates the existing installation and keeps its settings. For details, refer to Migrate from the classic MSI.

Mass-deploying Assistant to multiple machines

To deploy Assistant to multiple machines, run the Platform Installer from the command line in silent mode, with a configuration file that selects Assistant and its options. For details, refer to Install from the command line.

To control the update channel, the maximum version, and update postponement on those machines, use Group Policy. For details, refer to Deploy governance policies.
