In some cases, UAC and DEP settings might need to be modified.

To ensure smooth operation on machines that run on OS Windows Vista and above, follow these steps:
  • Check to see whether User Access Control (UAC) is turned on for the computer that is running Automation Anywhere:.
  • On the Windows desktop, select on Start→Control Panel→User Accounts→Change User Account Control Settings.
  • Set Never Notify.
  • Add Automation Anywhere to the list of exceptions under Data Execution Protection (DEP).
  • On the Windows desktop, select on Start→Control Panel→System→Advanced System Settings.
  • On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button.
  • Click on the tab Data Execution Prevention and select the option Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
  • Click on the Add button, and add the Automation Anywhere.exe (Program Files (x86)\Automation Anywhere) folder to the list.
  • Click Apply and then click OK.
  • Reboot the computer to ensure that the new settings take effect.
