Deploying Custom (Activities) Packages to backoffice

Help
2

Hi Scott,

The location where the “installed” packages are stored in 2017.1 is %localappdata%UiPath\Activities. This is an user folder.

In case you still be in 2016.x, i believe the location is %ProgramData%UiPath\Actvities, which is a machine folder (this can be relevant if your VDI start on template and aren’t persistent)

You can have a script executed on login or on your VDI’s synchronizing this location with a repository.
You can also simply when you want to deploy your package, copy the activity package you want to deploy to the locations mentioned previously.

Note that the repository would need to have folder for each activity (and their packages dependencies) as they would be installed so : Folder named with the activity package ID + version, lib folder inside + .nupkg. You can take example of the already installed ones.

Cheers
