Start process from cmd

Hi all,

I’ve updated my UiPath to 2018.2.3. Previously I’d run from command line using: “path-to-folder\UiRobot.exe” \file “path-to-project\main.xaml”.

I’ve already found and adapted the following things on the forum:

  • As from 2018.2 the UiRobot.exe is no longer in the version-subfolder, but directly in: “c:\program files (x86)\UiPath\studio”
  • As from 2018.2 I should use project.json, containing all dependencies
  • I should publish my proces in Studio first
  • I tried with /executor and without in my command

I’ve done all this but I keep getting the following error.

System.Xaml.XamlObjectWriterException: Cannot create unknown type ‘{http://schemas.uipath.com/workflow/activities}ReadRange’.

Can anyone help me?
