Hi

Cheers @hacky

@Palaniyappan

I have installed StudioX and able to view and use the activities provided by StudioX.

Now, I am going to Home > Tools > Excel Addin

Thats where the error is popped up. Nothing related to any file. Its just happening as I am trying to Add an Excel AddIn Plugin into the StudioX.’

Fine, restart your machine and try once
Cheers @hacky

I tried, still showing the same error. I am not able to figure out the root cause.
Do you have anything else?

Take a backup of project.json file.
Delete project.json file and re-open the main.xaml file.

Hello Hacky, I would have to ask the following : what version of Office are you using and of course what build of StudioX are you running :slight_smile: Also it would help a lot if you could provide us with the logs ( %localappdata%\UiPath\Logs )

As I did what you said, I was getting internal error from UiPath which was asking to restart the Studio. Even after restart, it error wont go.

I got exactly the same error and unable to move on from there. Any fix?

hi, I have the same issue.

Im also facing same issue and not able to work on learning Studio X.

Hello,

Did you get a chance to install 19.12 and check if the issue still persists?

Regards.
Dragos.

@dragos.suma

As I checked again, re-installing the UiPath Studio (19.12), I am still getting the same error.
I am not understanding why this issue still persists, cannot install “Excel Addin” as I get below error:-


Also, I am sharing the log file which was generated immediately after installation, hopping that this could help.

Following are the lastest details:-

  1. Office:- Microsoft [Excel] for Office 365 MSO (16.0.12130.20382) 64-bit
  2. StudioX:- UiPath [Studio] 2019.12.0-beta.61
  3. Logs:- 2019-12-20_Studio.zip (2.2 KB)

Please suggest.

Thanks and Regards,
@hacky

Hmmm … the developers reached a conclusion that this was related to the power shell script being polluted by something prior the installation of the plugin , so i would have to ask what operating system are you using ? What we did for the fix we tried to clean-up the input of the power shell so that we could not encounter that parsing error . seems that it did not work :frowning: As a side question if you create on your machine another user ( let’s say user1) is the error still reproducible ? One has to ask if somehow the path of the install folder is somehow corrupting the installation scripts .

Dragos.
