Below are some examples of adding CLI parameters for the unified installer:

msiexec /i UiPathTaskMining.msi /qr MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 PROXY_SETTINGS="{""host"":""localhost"",""port"":12345,""authIsEnabled"":false,""useProxyServer"":true}"

msiexec /i UiPathTaskMining.msi /qr MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 PROXY_SETTINGS="{""host"":""localhost"",""port"":12345,""authIsEnabled"":true,""username"":""user"",""password"":""pass"",""domain"":""domain"",""useProxyServer"":true}"

msiexec /i UiPathTaskMining.msi /qr MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 PROXY_SETTINGS="{""host"":""localhost"",""port"":12345,""authIsEnabled"":false,""useProxyServer"":true,""bypassList"":""google.com""}"

Config.json

After successful installation, before launching the recorder, you can edit the proxySettings property in the <installation_directory>/config.json configuration file.

Below is an example.

{
  "serverURL": "https://cloud.uipath.com",
  "telemetryEnabled": "1",
  "applicationLanguage": "",
  "proxySettings": "{\"host\":\"localhost\",\"port\":12345,\"authIsEnabled\":true,\"username\":\"user\",\"password\":\"pass\",\"domain\":\"domain\",\"useProxyServer\":true}",
}

Install from Group Policy

You can also install the extension for Chrome or the extension for Edge by using Group Policies. This method silently installs the extension and enables it, without requiring user confirmation.

Offline

The Group Policy Offline installation method requires that the target machine is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain or Azure Active Directory.

It does not require access to the Chrome Web Store/Edge Web Store so it can be used for machines that have restricted Internet access.

UiPathTaskMining.msi uses this installation method by default if its requirements are met.

If your organization uses Group Policies for browser extension management then the following changes are also required:

1. In the ExtensionInstallForceList policy, add the value for Chrome:

   ndmegdjihnhfmljjoaiimbipfhodnbgf;file:///C:/ProgramData/UiPath/UiPath.Common/ChromeExtension_SelfHosted/extension_manifest_chrome.xml , or for Edge:
   ndmegdjihnhfmljjoaiimbipfhodnbgf;file:///C:/ProgramData/UiPath/UiPath.Common/EdgeExtension_SelfHosted/extension_manifest_edge.xml.
2. In the NativeMessagingAllowList policy, add the value: com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2

Online

The Group Policy Online installation method requires that the target machine has access to the Chrome Web Store (https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx and https://clients2.googleusercontent.com/crx).

UiPathTaskMining.msi uses this installation method if its requirements are met and the machine is not joined to a Microsoft Active Directory.

If your organization uses Group Policies for browser extension management then the following changes are also required:

1. In the ExtensionInstallForceList policy, add the value for Chrome:

   jfcmnbofjlffnejneillkgbniiidiigd;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx , or for Edge:
   aolkfhjgbinoablafekggeglohbacjih;https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx.

2. In the NativeMessagingAllowList policy, add the value:

   com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2

Refer to ExtensionInstallForceList in the the official Chrome enterprise documentation for more information on the ExtensionInstallForceList policy.

Refer to NativeMessagingAllowList in the official Chrome enterprise documentation for more information on the NativeMessagingAllowList policy.
