Hi All,

I am also facing the same issue,

We have migrated a live project from version 2016.2 to 2018.4 and Invoke Power shell activity is throwing error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have faced the same issue. I think this issue is from UiPath side. I have updated the UiPath.System.Activities package to 20.4.0, the issue get resolved.

Now for me, powershell is working fine.

Hi,
I am also facing powershell issue.
The problem is our organization has updated powershell from 2.0 to 5.0 version and now bots are giving “Powershell 1.0 is not installed” error message.
So to which System utilities package should I install so that it will get resolve?

Thank you!
