I am facing an issue of Project upload to orchestrator. It says invalid package details. Can someone help me to convert Windows project into Windows Legacy ?

FYI- I had this issue before and I wasn’t able to upload projects to Orchestrator.
Can someone provide solution here ? Studio version 2022.10.5 , Orchestrator Version 2020.10.3

Thank You

@PALKUMARI_PATEL please follow the below steps

Steps to Convert Windows Project to Windows - Legacy in UiPath Studio 2022.10.5:

  1. Open your project in UiPath Studio.
  2. Go to the Project Panel (bottom left) and click the gear icon :gear: (Project Settings).
  3. Note the Project Type — it’ll say Windows.
  4. Create a new “Windows - Legacy” project:
  • Go to Start → Process → Windows - Legacy.
  • Give it a name and location.
  1. Copy the contents:
  • Copy all .xaml files, folders (like Framework, Data, etc.), and dependencies from your old project into the new “Windows - Legacy” project folder.
  • Open the new legacy project in Studio.
  1. Re-add dependencies:
  • Go to Manage Packages, and match the dependencies with the original project (note versions).
  1. Fix any namespace errors:
  • Legacy projects use .NET Framework; you might need to fix minor differences in activities or namespaces.
  1. Publish the project:
  • Now you can publish to your Orchestrator 2020.10.3 successfully.
