Hello,
I get the following error when I try to use the Open Browser action from Web Recording feature.
The error occurred in all browsers(Chrome, IE, Firefox). I use 2018.2.4 Community Edition version.

Step was not recorded successfully.

I had a similar issue and the issue was with .Net Framework

I have uninstalled and installed .Net framework version 4.6.2 and the problem was resolved

I get this error only for chrome, even when then chrome extension is enabled.
Works fine with IE.

Hi, I saw that .NET was a common solution to these problems. I am working on a machine that has another development environment setup in Visual studio that has many versions of .NET Framework installed.

Do you happen to know how to get UiPath to select or use 4.6.2 as opposed to others?
