Hi,
One of my recent projects need of installing/uninstalling a desktop software during the automation session in windows pc.

The steps in general are:
1. Install the software (.exe file is placed on Desktop or provided in a dedicated folder)
2. Make some configuration changes in the app (clicks and type into)
3. Run automation [some actions within the app]
4. Uninstall the software from PC (from control panel or anyhow)

So, basically I need some guidance for step 1 and 4
What can be possible and best way to do it?

Thanks in advance

Hi @MdFuadHasan

For 1st point you can use Start Process activity and pass the correct path of the exe file
Later as you mentioned you can use Clicks and TypeInto etc.,

For 4th point you can check if there are any commands or shortcuts to uninstall the software, that depends upon the software which you are using

Hope this may help you

Thanks,
Srini
