.local files error while debugging or running any Uipath process from Uipath Studio

Help Studio
1

This is the error message we are getting for running any UiPath project from UiPath Studio. error is pointing towards root cause “Access to the path ‘Z:.…..\Windows_Expressions.InsightWorkflows_EnterDateToProcess.dll’ is denied.”. since we can not even debug or run any uiapth processes. we tried to run project from -
-local (C:)directory

  • deleting (.local )folder
  • deleting cache folder
  • cloning fresh project from GitHub. we have tried all possible solutions , does anyone have any suggestion how we can resolve this error?

We are using studio version :- 2024.10. LTS.

Welcome to the community

did you try with changing the folder permissions

also is the location in user specific location or a generic one or any onedrive folder?

cheers

You probably shouldn’t be trying to work from a mapped drive. I suggest copying the project to a local folder and work from there. Make sure it’s not a folder that something like OneDrive is syncing with the cloud, as that will also interfere with Studio.

Yes, we tried to move project folders and also this issue is replicating to all projects not just one specific project only.

We have tried to debug and run from local folder too, but the issue is still persist.

Hi @Riya_Hirapara

  • Z: is a mapped/network drive and Studio cannot write DLLs there → access denied.
  • Unmap Z: drive or ensure it has full read/write permissions.
  • Move the project fully to a local path like C:\Users…\Documents\UiPath.
  • Run UiPath Studio as Administrator once.
  • Check antivirus/Defender exclusions for UiPath folders.
  • Ensure no group policy is blocking DLL execution on mapped drives.

After this, restart Studio and run again.

If you are opening the project from shared drive or network drive, this kind of issues you could face.

Try storing and opening the code from local folder.

@Riya_Hirapara

After copying to any local folder make sure it is not any network path or one drive path..

and then check the folder permissions as well

Hi @Monali_Vekariya

  • Yes, we did ensure Z drive has full read\write permissions.
  • we have tried to move project to the local drive even on different machines.
  • this is not specifically one project - it’s affecting entire automation projects.
  • We did review the antivirus part of permissions - nothing is blocking from that side.
  • Group policy also assigned to admin level not just read- write.

Hi @Anil_G

Yes, we did ensure each permissions and path.

@ashokkarale

Yes, we tried even uninstalling studio - did entire fresh new setup, reviewed permissions and tried to run it from local folder, etc.

Alright then it’s time to raise this to the support team via Customer Portal.

Studio is still referencing a mapped drive (Z:) for NuGet/package cache, not the project itself.
Change the Packages folder to a local path, clear UiPath and NuGet caches, ensure no AppData/NuGet redirection to Z:, restart Studio.
