Attended works but unattended "succes" but fails

Hi Community

 

I have a flow which runs perfectly in attended mode! A lot of waits etc. to make it runs smoothly.

 

  1. The flow runs through my Windows Server 2019.
  2. It opens a program from the taskbar
  3. Click and fills out different fields and goes through them via {Tab}
  4. CTRL+E To run the Execution and Export the result to a path.
  5. Logs off the terminal Server. 

In unattended mode = Success, but I am not getting the file so I know something is wrong.

 

How are you guys fixing issues in unattended mode, if it works in attended, why not in unattended? 

Any tips/tricks, Ive spent SOOO many hours on this and have no idea what to do now.

    One think I am noticing is this, in my Power Automate desktop program the path look like this

    asamr_0-1619706564075.png

    {Back}P:\SPCQ\HitrateStatistik\test1234.xls

     

    But on the webpage the path looks like this:

     

    asamr_1-1619706615479.png

    "{Back}P:\\SPCQ\\HitrateStatistik\\test1234.xls"

     

    Is that a bug? Double back slashes.

    Double backslashes are intended.

     

    Backslashes are also used to modify the meaning of the symbol that follows, so the backslash before the backslash nullifies this effect, so it's just what we consider a regular backslash 🙂
