Posted on by rbarr0913 4

Hello,

 

When I try to launch a new automation browser, the browser does not load and I get the following runtime error:

 

: Robin.Core.ActionException: Failed to launch automated Internet Explorer.
at Robin.Modules.WebAutomation.Actions.LaunchInternetExplorerBase.Execute(ActionContext context)
at Robin.Runtime.Engine.ActionRunner.RunAction(String action, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments, IActionStatement statement)

 

I need to use this browser since I am downloading a CS

    Hi @rbarr0913 

     

    Please make sure that you have the latest PAD version installed -> Power Automate Desktop Use desktop flows to automate actions and business processes on your desktop environment. (microsoft.com)

     

    Then, feel free to follow the instructions for Internet Explorer as mentioned here: Using browsers and managing extensions - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

     

    I hope the above helps!
