I received a pop-up notification for a UiPath update. After updating my UiPath, I found that I was unable to use my old legacy automations. I then received another pop-up suggesting I convert the automation to Windows format. Although I proceeded with the conversion, the automation still isn’t functioning properly. When I attempt to run the old legacy automation, I encounter an error message. Can anyone provide assistance on how I can get this legacy automation working again?
UiPath have been asking you to update from Legacy for quite a long time now informing that the legacy support would be removed, so you did have plenty of opportunity to do this before it was forced upon you.
If you want to use Legacy as you say, you need to downgrade to a lower version of studio rather than using the Community version.
The issue is caused by the difference between "(U+0022) and “(U+201C) and their Unicode encoding. .NET 8 emphasizes strict compliance while legacy .NET frameworks, were more permissive.
The workaround is to replace “(U+201C) with "(U+0022).
