Command Line Parameters

Install Studio from the command line with the UiPath Platform Installer, using msiexec parameters and a configuration file that selects the desktop clients.

You can install Studio and the other UiPath desktop clients from the command line by running the UiPath Platform Installer with msiexec, either interactively or silently. Silent mode is intended for unattended deployments to multiple machines.

Syntax​

msiexec /i UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi [PARAMETER=value ...] [/qn]
msiexec /i UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi [PARAMETER=value ...] [/qn]

Pass parameters as PARAMETER=value pairs after the package path, and enclose values that contain spaces in double quotes.

  • Omit /qn to run the installation wizard with its full user interface.
  • Add /qn to run without a user interface. Partial-UI modes, such as /qb and /qr, are not supported for unattended installations.

The installer runs per-machine when msiexec runs elevated, from an elevated command prompt or as SYSTEM from a deployment tool. A silent installation started from a non-elevated prompt installs per-user, without an error. To make a per-machine installation explicit, pass MSIINSTALLPERUSER=0. For details, refer to Installation scope.

Installer parameters​

ParameterDescription
FORCE_PERUSERSet to 1 to install per user, even when an administrator runs the installer.
MSIINSTALLPERUSERSet to 0 to make a per-machine installation explicit. The installation must still run elevated.
PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILEThe absolute path to a configuration file that selects the desktop clients to install and their options. For details, refer to The configuration file.
UPDATER_CONFIGURATION_FILEThe absolute path to a configuration file for the updater, used for proxy settings.
TELEMETRY_ENABLEDSet to 0 to turn off usage data collection, or to 1 to keep it on. Telemetry is on by default.
INSTALLER_LANGUAGEThe language of the installation wizard, such as en, de, fr, ja, or pt-BR. It has no effect in silent mode.

UiPathPlatformLTS.26.10.msi sets the Enterprise LTS (26.10 line) update channel itself, so you don't pass CHANNEL.

For the full list of values and for the proxy settings, refer to Install from the command line.

The configuration file​

The file passed in PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILE lists the desktop clients to install, each with its own parameters:

{
  "Packages": [
    {
      "PackageName": "Studio",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_STUDIO_LEGACY": "true",
        "INSTALL_ACTIVITIES": "true"
      }
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Robot",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "SERVICE_URL": "https://orchestrator.example.com/organization/tenant/orchestrator_"
      }
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Assistant",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {}
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Runtimes",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {}
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "BrowserExtensions",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_CHROME_EXTENSION": "true",
        "INSTALL_EDGE_EXTENSION": "true"
      }
    }
  ]
}
{
  "Packages": [
    {
      "PackageName": "Studio",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_STUDIO_LEGACY": "true",
        "INSTALL_ACTIVITIES": "true"
      }
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Robot",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "SERVICE_URL": "https://orchestrator.example.com/organization/tenant/orchestrator_"
      }
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Assistant",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {}
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "Runtimes",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {}
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "BrowserExtensions",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_CHROME_EXTENSION": "true",
        "INSTALL_EDGE_EXTENSION": "true"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Keep the following in mind when you write the file:

  • PackageName values are case sensitive: Studio, Robot, Assistant, Runtimes, and BrowserExtensions.
  • List every desktop client to install. A client that is missing from the file is not installed, including Assistant, which the installation wizard selects together with Studio.
  • Studio requires Robot and Runtimes, and Assistant requires Robot. A missing required package is not added, and the installation fails validation.
  • Write every parameter value as a string, including "true" and "false".
  • If Parameters is empty for BrowserExtensions, no browser extension is installed on a machine that doesn't have one.
