About extensions
UiPath extensions help you broaden your automation capabilities to web browsers, Java applications, Silverlight applications, and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, as well as over RDP connections, and more. They enable native detection of UI elements in such environments, so that selectors are properly built. The UiPath extensions can be installed from Studio or the Command Prompt.
Below you find the list of available UiPath extensions and how to install them:
- UiPath Remote Runtime
- Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
- Firefox
- Safari
- Java
- Silverlight
- Citrix - also requires the UiPath Remote Runtime installed on the Citrix Application server.
- Microsoft Remote Desktop and Apps - also requires the UiPath Remote Runtime installed on the Windows server.
- VMware Horizon - also requires the UiPath Remote Runtime installed on the VMware Horizon Application server.
- Amazon Workspaces - also requires the UiPath Remote Runtime installed on the Amazon Workspaces virtual desktop.
- SAP Solution Manager plugin
- Excel Add-in
In Studio, you can install or uninstall extensions from Home (Studio Backstage View) > Tools > UiPath Extensions. To install an extension from here, simply click on the one you need. A message box then informs you whether or not the extension is successfully installed.
You can install extensions from the Command Prompt using the SetupExtensions tool, located in the
C:\Program
Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath folder for per-machine installations, or the
%localappdata%\Programs\UiPath\Studio\UiPath folder for per-user
installations. Administrator rights are required to install extensions from the Command
Prompt.
Each extension has dedicated troubleshooting pages:
- UiPath Remote Runtime troubleshooting
- Extension for Chrome troubleshooting
- Extension for Edge troubleshooting
- Extension for Firefox troubleshooting
- Extension for Java troubleshooting
- Extension for Silverlight troubleshooting
- Extension for Citrix troubleshooting
- Extension for Windows Remote Desktop and Apps troubleshooting
