Problem registering a machine

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi All,

 

I am trying to register a machine on Power Automate Desktop. 

 

I javing two problems:

1) sometimes I get an error message (see below)

2) If the error message does not show, then it just shows me my company's environment, but I am unable to proceed to the next step to add a machine.

 

Please help!

 

Thanks,

Matt

    I got the EXACTLY the same issue, well to be exact, my colleague has had PAD installed and they can't register their machine either - did you find a solution?

    I wonder if an alternative download of the installer might work??
