How to move the targetFramework from "Windows-Legacy" to "Windows"

Help Studio

Hi all,

I am trying to understand how to move targetFramework from “Windows-Legacy” to “Windows”.

I need to update all my workflows in production, and it seems that this task is almost impossible! But I am sure I’m missing something here as UiPath is really user-friendly software.

Steps that I had done:

  1. Update all the packages within the workflow
  2. Update the jason file targetFramework from “Legacy” to “Windows”
  3. Work through all the errors

But I’m facing an error that is road-blocking me from moving further. All my workflows are in a shared drive. When I do these steps in a workflow that is in my local drive, everything works fine, but when I do this in a shared drive, the following error appears:

Hi @supas ,

Something similar has happened to me. There is no clean way to convert a workflow from legacy to windows. In my experience, I had to change a lot of the workflow (some activities don’t work when you convert the project. I had to rebuild a lot of the workflow.

But it may be easier for you if you have basic activities in our project.

Another thing Windows workflows compile nuget packages in your directory/folder. Hence, you need to talk to your network manager to see if there is any setup that is blocking this installation.
