Hello there,

I'm attempting to connect Power Automate Desktop with a HostExplorer terminal session and running into issues. I am using a workflow to launch the application with a session profile, waiting 5 seconds, and then executing the Open Terminal action. I've configured the action to use HLLAPI, and have tried both ehllap32.dll and whllap32.dll for the library from the HostExplorer program files folder. This is the error result. Any suggestions?

 Correlation Id: f335db57-aae6-4af5-9e3a-09aa2b555e2e

Error loading HLLAPI: hllapi function was not found: Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: 
Error communicating with the emulator ---> Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Shared.Runtime.TerminalEmulationActionException: Error loading HLLAPI: hllapi function was not found

I'm not positive the HostExplorer library is getting loaded at all. I've attempted to find it in memory using Get-Process -Module.
