My goal is simply to allow developers to mimic UAT on their dev machine, but they need the studio as well..

Hi @adext01,

You can have Studio and Robot functionality on the same machine, but they are not typically installed as two separate standalone installations. The UiPath Studio installation already includes the Robot components required to run automations.

That is why the standalone Robot installer is showing this error when it detects an existing Studio installation.

For your scenario, developers can keep UiPath Studio installed and use UiPath Assistant/Robot to connect the machine to the appropriate Orchestrator folder and run processes, which should allow them to mimic the UAT environment on their development machine.

If you need a specific Robot configuration (for example, unattended execution or a different installation mode), it may be necessary to modify/reinstall the existing UiPath installation with the required components instead of installing a separate Robot package.

Hope this helps!

Your UiPath Assistant is the robot you required.

Just search and login into it. You should be sorted.

Yes, you can have both Studio and Robot functionality on the same machine. Since UiPath Studio already includes the Robot component, there is no need to install Robot separately. For UAT simulation, we can use the Robot that comes with Studio and configure it similarly to the UAT environment.
