Switch studio versions without reinstalling

Hi,

For projects that are built on different versions of UiPath, each time if there is any update required, the studio has to be reinstalled again to match the built version as the production environments are configured with the BOT version. If there is an option to switch versions without reinstalling the studio, that will save developer time drastically.

Thanks,
Madhavi K

Hi @pattyricarte - No, it’s not working like that. By editing json file you can cause more damage to your project than you think. Some activities can be completely different across the Studio versions and this can make your project completely unreadable.

Hi @Madhavi - In case of Enterprise Editions it’s behavior we need. This version is turned off from automatic updates because it could harm environments where customers have already deployed robots and tasks written in particular Studio version. We can’t just force push updates. Instead of this we are just deploying new stable/tested versions so enterprise users can decide whether they stay on current version or will they do the update. Please also remember that with Studio update there’s always Robot update going at the same time and this can provide Orchestrator to be less compatible as it’s version also must be fixed to the Studio and Robot.

Sounds like OP should spin up a couple VMs to isolate the different IDEs. That’s how I run UIPath on my laptop, so I can multitask without the bot interfering with what I am doing.

There are free and paid VM softwares. For example VMWare (free and paid options) and VirtualBox (free)
