Power Automate Desktop Update issue reporting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I updated Power Automate Desktop to August 2021 (version 2.12.171.21216) last week.  I attempted to use a Java applet running on jre1.8.0_261 today and received the error message below.  After a bit of searching, I came across some articles that mentioned modifying the accessibility.properties file and either fixing, removing, or commenting out the incorrect reference.  I attempted to update to what appeared to be the correct dll reference, but the same error occurred.  I had to completely remove the assistive_technologies reference in order for the unrelated Java applet to run. 

 

I tried to find any means other than these forums to report this issue, but (obviously, I guess) my search came back with no good results.  Is this the proper place to submit these types of issues?  Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

Error message

 

java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found: microsoft.flows.rpa.desktop.uiautomation.JavaBridge
	at java.awt.Toolkit.loadAssistiveTechnologies(Unknown Source)
	at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.UIToolkitImpl.warmup(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Main.main(Unknown Source)

 

 

accessibility.properties details:

  • path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_261\lib\accessibility.properties
  • entry: assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge, microsoft.flows.rpa.desktop.uiautomation.JavaBridge
  • updated entry (also failed): assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge, Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.UIAutomation.Java.Bridge.Native

dll referenced (I believe - shows created on my machine on 8/18 - the date I updated):

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_261\bin\Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.UIAutomation.Java.Bridge.Native.dll

    PowerAutomate Desktop installer adds a line in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_XXX\lib\accessibility.properties but doesn't change it when updated or uninstalled. This is a Power Automate Desktop bug.

     

    As a result, Java8 can't start.
