Unable to open java application using open application activity

[Shreya_Sinha]

I am trying to open a simple java application (both Jar and Exe versions) using the Open Application Activity, UI path is throwing exception.

An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Selector not found
at UiPath.Core.Activities.ScopeActivity.EndExecute(NativeActivityContext context, IAsyncResult result)
at UiPath.Core.Activities.AsyncNativeActivity.BookmarkResumptionCallback(NativeActivityContext context, Bookmark bookmark, Object value)
at System.Activities.Runtime.BookmarkCallbackWrapper.Invoke(NativeActivityContext context, Bookmark bookmark, Object value)
at System.Activities.Runtime.BookmarkWorkItem.Execute(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)

When the same activity is used for opening any other application except java app, it works perfectly fine.
I have installed the Java extension to UI path studio but did not help.

Current workaround:
Created a shortcut for the same application
Used a hotkey activity in UI Path studio, I was able to launch the application
This workaround will not suffice but just to proceed with the automation I am using this.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi @Shreya_Sinha,

You can use start process activity and give a try.

Thank you… But other than java application it is working… In java application we are facing problem that it is not starting freshly if it is open from before
