Are you trying to run the process created in a different instance into your current system?

Make sure you have all the required activities installed. Looks like ‘Continue’ activity is missing in you current instance of UiPath studio.

Check this:

Thanks for replying @Rammohan91,

Continue activity is already installed in uipath activity “Activity>Workflow>control flow>Continue”.

Is there any other possible solution for same issue?

Hello @sams,

Could you please reinstall core package?
OR
attach your workflow

Cheers,

If you run robot.exe -file option in the script, publish at Studio before running.

Hi @RiteshJain1411
See Robot Guide here
As of 2018.2, workflows started with this command only work if you had published the containing project at least once beforehand and if the associated project.json file is inside the project folder.
