Hello @Manuthejusui

Is it throwing in UiPath or have you tried with any IDE?

Thanks

#3

In UiPath, working fine in ide

#4

Hope you are using the invoke powershell activity. Have you enabled IsScript in the property?

Thanks

#5

Yes i have enabled IsScript

#6

Are you facing the same issue in Windows Legacy and Windows projects?

#7

When i run using windows PowerShell not getting error only when i run in UiPath invoke PowerShell getting this error

I am referring to the UiPath Studio project compatibility

In UiPath Studio, if you are using a Windows project, you have a built-in Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK version in the UiPath.System.Activities version

Try this possible solution:

Adapt the policy at the start of your script, i.e. like so:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

Hi @marian.platonov

I’m using windows legacy and still getting same error i also in co-orporated the cmd at the start of the script

#11

Can you open your powershell.exe console and run this command and provide a screenshot?

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

When you are executing the code from UiPath, normally it will be executed with the Process ExecutionPolicy, but over it, MachinePolicy and UserPolicy are taking precedence.

You can try also to add in your code at the beginning, this line:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

Yes i have added the command provided by you and please find the screen shot you required for in the attachment

Try this solution (first, it will read the ps1 script as text, then it will execute it, in the PowerShell script you will write the output to a text file, then to display the results, you will read the results text output and display the results in a log message):
