Hello together,

 

i recognized that if i download an bot from the bot store i get an windows installer instead of the folder of the automation.

 

Can anyone explain how to download just the automation files from the bot store?

 

Thanks

Hi Folks, We released the bot installer (msi) for reducing bot install time from 5 minutes to 15 seconds.

  • Please download msi and install it (double click the msi).
  • The license key is available under "My Downloads" page for that bot.
  • And you're all set. You do not have to copy paste any files to any folders. The installer will take care of everything. Please use the installer and share your experience. Thanks

Hakan,

 

When you download a Metabot from BS, it doesn't come with a Windows Installer. It almost always come with to files.

The Task .atmx

The Metabot.mbot

 

You just have to unzip the Metabot.

  • Paste the Task file into 'My tasks'

Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks

  • Paste the Metabot file into 'My Metabots'

Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Automation Anywhere\My MetaBots

 

Its very important your refer to the Metabot Documentation.

 

Go Be Great

Hi @Anton Chiang​  Automation Anywhere,

 

Can you please go back to the old procedure because i don't have admin rights for installations on the business machine?

Why do we have to use the windows installer if we just want the .atmx and .mtbot files -> it is better to provide the files in a zip file and then download the zip file.

 

Best regards,

 

Hakan
