Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi everyone,

I have a big cloud flow and inside i want to trigger a desktop flow that exports an excel file. If i start the Desktop Flow on its own it works fine but if i try to start it through a cloud flow i always get:

Problem while executing action 'LaunchAndOpenUnderExistingProcess'. Failed to launch Excel.

Microsoft.PowerPlatform.PowerAutomate.Desktop.Actions.SDK.ActionException: Failed to launch Excel. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

If i try the run application brick in PAD i get the following error:

Problem while executing action 'RunApplicationAndWaitToLoad'. File or application 'my file name... ' not found.

But again if i just start it in Power Automate Desktop there is no problem.

I hope someone can help me.
