Hi @marian.platonov , I tried following your steps installed everything with same version, but in my case the UiPath is stuck at Python Scope without giving any error or timeout. Any idea, i tried different versions of the package but none seems to work. ---

For Windows projects that use Python activities package versions lower than 1.8.0, the Python Scope activity requires you to install the [.NET Desktop Runtime 5.0.17](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/5.0) . ---
