Hi @Ayah,

I think these topics can help you. You can gain control by understanding the differences.

Hi,

I think we can check if the robot is on service mode using the following expression , because UiPath.Service.Host.exe is running in service mode.

Process.GetProcesses.Any(Function(p) p.ProcessName="UiPath.Service.Host")

Whether it is User Mode (Installed in the User’s App Directory without Admin) or Installed to the Machine (Program Files) and Registered as a Service is a bit irrelevant.

PACKAGES_FOLDER should not point to a single shared directory but rather a dynamic path that is unique to a user so each Profile can download their own packages without package/version conflicts.
e.g.

%userProfile%\.nuget\packages
C:\Some\Path\%USERNAME^
\\networkshare\some\path\%USERNAME%
