Hey, I am getting this error out of nowhere. I am using a PPTX file, and when I execute the automation, I get the error in the picture. There is no issue with the File Path, Package, and File. What could be the problem and how to solve this? Help me if you’ve some insights. Thanks

The image shows an error message related to a PowerPoint file in UiPath, indicating "Cannot open PowerPoint" within a workflow automation process. (Captioned by AI)

Hi @Yasir_Yaqoob,

This error it usually means that your UiPath automation is unable to access or interact with a PowerPoint file, likely due to issues like incorrect file paths, missing permissions, a corrupted PowerPoint file.

  • Double-check the file path
  • Verify that the PowerPoint file exists in the specified location
  • Check if the user running the UiPath process has sufficient permissions to access the PowerPoint file
  • Try opening the file directly in PowerPoint to see if it’s corrupted. If possible, test with a different PowerPoint file to isolate the issue.

However, please check the locals tab during debug and share the full exception details that may shed more light on the root cause of the issue.

Hope this helps.
