Installing on Windows OS

UiPath provides two installers for Windows. You can download them from the Resource Center in UiPath Automation Cloud or from the Product Downloads section in Customer Portal.

About 32-bit and 64-bit versions

• Before the 2021.4 release, Studio and Robot were 32-bit applications. However, from version 2021.4 onward, a 64-bit installer is the default.

• Starting with version 2023.4, a 32-bit installer is no longer provided, and the UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe is discontinued beginning with version 2021.4.
• To update existing 32-bit or 64-bit UiPathStudio.msi and UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe installations on 64-bit operating systems, use UiPathStudio.msi.
• The default installation path for pre-2021.4, 32-bit installation on a 64-bit system was C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Studio. Upgrading to 64-bit installers migrates the installation to the C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio folder. Installations that use custom paths do not change their directory after update.

About quick and custom installations

You can perform the installation for the current user in a default configuration by selecting the Quick option in the installation wizard (no administrator privileges required) or configure the installation by selecting the Custom option (requires administrator privileges for per-machine installations).

Note:

If you are using Microsoft Windows Server, per-user installations may not be completed successfully. If an error occurs stating that policies have been set to prevent the installation, you can do one of the following if you are an administrator on the machine:

• Open the Registry Editor, and then, in the registry key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer, configure the policy DisableMSI = 0 to enable the Windows installer for all applications.
• Perform the installation per machine by installing using the Custom option.

The following table summarizes the differences and similarities between quick and custom installations.

	Quick	Custom
Installation context	Per user	Per user or per machine
Supported robot installation types	User mode	User mode for attended installations (per-user and per-machine). Service mode for unattended installations (per-machine).
Administrator privileges required for the installation	No	Required only for per-machine installations.
Installation directory	%LocalAppData%\Programs	A custom location can be selected. The default location is: %LocalAppData%\Programsfor per-user installations. %ProgramFiles%for per-machine installations.
Activation with Community license	Supported	Supported
Activation with Enterprise license	Supported	Supported
Administrator privileges required for connecting to Orchestrator	No	Required only for the Service-Mode robot
Connection to Orchestrator using interactive sign-in	Supported	Supported 1

Using the Command Prompt

Installing Robot or Studio using command line parameters is useful for installation on multiple machines, for silent installations, and for saving system resources that a graphical wizard might consume. It also allows customized installation settings and integration with scripts.

Important:

To install the Robot using the command prompt, you need administrator privileges.

Best practices

• To escape the "%" character in system variable names, such as %username%, use the following command:

  ^ - UiPathRobot.msi PACKAGES_FOLDER=C:\Some\Path\^%USERNAME^%

  Note:

  In PowerShell, no escaping is needed.

• When using Active Directory domain accounts, specify the domain name in the folder structure:

  C:\packages\^%UserDomain^%.^%Username^%

• To use paths that contain spaces, use quotes:

  • In Command Prompt, use double quotes:

    UiPathRobot.msi APPLICATIONFOLDER="C:\folder name"

  • In PowerShell, use single and double quotes:

    ./UiPathRobot.msi APPLICATIONFOLDER='"C:\folder name"'

The live streaming feature

Starting with version 2024.10, the live streaming feature uses the RealVNC software, which comes bundled in the UiPath Robot and UiPath Studio 2024.10+ installers. Installing or upgrading to the 2024.10+ Robot using the GUI or the command prompt automatically installs RealVNC , unless the ADDLOCAL parameter is used. If you choose to use the ADDLOCAL parameter in a command prompt installation, you must add the LiveStreaming flag.

For example, the following UiPathRobot.msi command performs a custom installation or upgrade which also installs RealVNC, the software that is required for live streaming:

UiPathRobot.msi ADDLOCAL=DesktopFeature,Robot,RegisterService,LiveStreaming

Warning:

Live streaming and remote control features do not work in a proxy setup for Robot versions older than 2024.10.5. Upgrade your Robot to versions 2024.10.5+ to access these features in a proxy setup.
