[siddardha_Annapureddy]

i have installed UiPath long ago on windows 11 machine and i have a break from automation for some days and when i got back and tried to run a previous projects or process. the execution was ended with a error message below.

i thought i should see log files and i found some error messaes in them. i don’t know what excatly they mean but i can see “error” text.
please have a look

i have changed environmental system paths for other software purposes and added them later. i thought this might be a configuration issue and i reinstalled the studio. still i am facing this issuse. Have a look at my system environmental variables.

@Dilip_Wakdikar_1996 sir, thank you. can you tell me what excatly the problem is and why those steps are used for

[Dilip_Wakdikar_1996 (Dilip Wakdikar)]

Hello Sir,
The path you are providing is probably more than 260 characters and therefore it is throwing an error, if you allow the long path this issue might be resolved
