Could not load file or assembly 'System.Activities.ViewModels. The system cannot find the file specified

I have a process that runs fine on my UiPath studio dev PC, but fails to run on the robot PC, failing after a few seconds with the below error. Other processes are running without issue. The process is using the following packages (I’ve tried upgrading to latest and still didn’t work) :-

UiPath.Excel.Activities 2.22.4
UiPath.Mail.Activities 1.24.1
UiPath.System.Activities 24.3.1

Following research in to the isuse, I changes each package runtime rule to Lowest Applicable Version, but this had not impact. The Robot PC has .Net 8 installed.

Any help to resolve this greatly appreciated.

@martin.leonard,

It is a reported bug in UiPath.Mail.Activities 1.24

Downgrade to version less than 1.24 and test.

That did indeed resolve the issue. Thanks.
