Hi! I’m trying to execute my first robot and I can’t and I’m getting the following error:

Could not connect to UiPath Robot Service. Make sure the service is started!

Do you know the meaning of this error?

Thanks

Hi Maru
This error is because,UIRobot service is not started.
you can start the service manually from Component Services.

Thanks

Go to Windows Services (type “services.msc” on startmenu) and start the service named “UiRobotSvc”.

Hi Muru,

First Try to start the robot service in C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath Studio\UiRobot.exe

But the last version avable on uipath.com have this issue.I had a similar problem.

You need to use an older version, try the version 2016.1.6057 or versions prior to this.

Regards,

Hi @bogdan_margarit,

I had this problem this week with the same UiPath version and once I have repaired UiPath with the installer, it started to work again.

I tried to repair but it gave me an error when trying to start services. The error is that I don.t have enough rights to start services.

Hi @bogdan_margarit,

This message occurs when you don’t have admin privileges in your Windows PC, so in this case I suggest you to ask for someone else who has those privileges.

12

This will be because of hardening of the system

@hkjobs1988,

Do you have admin access.
