Install Studio

Install Studio on Windows with the UiPath Platform Installer, per user or per machine, on the long-term support update channel.

Studio 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 Studio 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.

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 download.uipath.com.
• 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\Studio\<version>.

When an administrator runs the installer interactively, it installs per machine. A per-machine installation keeps the desktop clients available to every user and managed centrally.

Installing Studio

1. Run UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi. To install per machine, run it as an administrator.
2. Select Studio in the list of desktop clients, together with any other clients you need, such as Robot and the browser extensions.
3. On the Studio options page, select the optional components to install:
   • Tools - StudioX Excel Addin and SAP Solution Manager. The SAP Solution Manager plugin also requires the host of your SAP Solution Manager instance.
   • Legacy - Install Studio Legacy, required to open and edit Windows - Legacy projects. For more information, refer to About the Windows - Legacy compatibility.
   • Activities - Install Activities, which adds the activity packages that ship with Studio to a local OfficialPackages feed. For the list of packages, refer to the release notes.
4. Follow the prompts to finish the installation.

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

Result

Studio is installed on the Enterprise LTS 26.10 channel. 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. For details, refer to Update Studio.

Offline installer

An offline, all-in-one installer, UiPathPlatformOffline.exe, is also available at download.uipath.com. 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 Studio was installed with UiPathStudio.msi, it migrates the existing installation and keeps the Studio, Robot, browser extension, and proxy settings. For details, refer to Migrate from the classic MSI.

Mass-deploying Studio to multiple machines

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

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

On machines installed with the offline installer, don't set the update channel or the download root URL policies. For details, refer to Policies on offline installations.

To deploy with Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Intune, refer to Deploy with Configuration Manager or Intune.
