"The target Element was not specified for this activity" Error

[chenderson (Cary Henderson)]

Good morning Anamika,

In regards to your HRESULT issue, do either of these solutions resolve the issue?

Having tried every suggestion to fix the “Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component” from across the forums, none of which worked for me, I found my own fix, so posting it in the hope that someone in future may find it useful.

I determined that, in my environment, the Chrome Native Messaging capability within Chrome itself was broken, determined by finding a few other Google Extensions from the Play store that required this capability, none of which worked.

So - not a UiPath problem, but a Chrome one, despite running the latest version of Chrome.

The fix was to uninstall and re-install Chrome - remembering to install from https://google.com/chrome (to avoid the multitude of 3rd party Chrome builds that come up top in the search page rankings, which come bundled with hidden Spyware)

I think this error is related to loading of websites which uses some javascript framework for content. I was getting this error in Get Attribute activity. This was solved by adding a delay. Just put a delay of few seconds before the activity on which you are getting this error.
