ISSUE RESOLVED

Hi @Geek,

Could you please share how did you resolve it?

I actually pulled every Activity out of “Attach Window” and it worked. Not sure if this was really something I did, rather different activities wouldn’t behave properly with each other. I still think this needs to be resolved or at least have a clearer error explanation then just “Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component”, which is not very helpful and confusing.

You’re right, it’s not an explicit error message. I will pass this to QA team so they will check if the error message needs to be changed.

Thank you for the feedback!

Hi:

I have same error.

I restart and reinstall several times UiPath and Browser’s extensions.

The last that I did before crash was update Visual Studio.

My VS version is 15.4.5 and .Net version 4.7.02046

I hope that this can help to find error.

Best regards

Apologies for a late response. My team has experienced this error on multiple occasions and all are random occurrences. Did you solve this? Can’t say I have a solution for you. You’ll just have to disable/enable pieces until you figure out the problem. Best of luck!

I am getting same error when I try to click on the data in Filpkart for data scrapping, Is there any solution for this? Please help me.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi sumitra,

What browser are you using? Please try to remove the extension and then add it, restart Studio, restart the browser and try again.

Let me know if it worked.

Hi @ovi,

@Gabriel_Tatu has this error been fixed yet?
My team is experiencing the error when we try to utilize a Window variable (in Attach Window) that is returned from Invoking another workflow and then perform any activity that uses the “partial selector” inside the Attach scope.

Our workaround is to use the selector instead of window variable.

Attached is a reproduction of the error, where MainTest invokes WindowTest then uses the window variable.
MainTest.xaml (9.4 KB)
WindowTest.xaml (6.3 KB)

Thanks.
