UI Flow - Recorded app launching w/ System32 as working path?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I've recorded a program with UI Flow that launches successfully when I launch it from either my desktop or the command line, but when playing back the RPA, I get errors from the program that lead me to believe the app thinks its working directory is C:\windows\system32\ instead of c:\prog files\appname\.  The path looks correct in the flow and I see no other options to govern "run space" or anything like that.  I've tried disabling UAC, but that didn't help.  Does anyone know anything more than I do about how Automate Recorder calls programs that would make the program work differently than when I call it manually?  Thanks in advance!
