Running the Client (Robot and Studio) Installation Packages

Before you start

To be able to use Java Advanced commands (as part of Studio), you need to have some Java elements setup properly so you can run the Nintex Java Bridge Script.

See Installing Java Access Bridgeto make sure you have it configured right.

Prerequisite

To auto update clients Robots, make sure you download and install .NET core 3.1.13 on all Robot clients machines.

Planning to work with Citrix?

If you are planning to work with Citrix (Applications Published only at this stage), make sure to:

  • Have Citrix Workspace application installed on the client machines (both Robots and Studio).

  • You must have Administrator rights on the client machine in order to modify Windows Registry keys and register necessary libraries

See the Nintex RPA - Citrix User Guide for complete instructions.

Run the Client MSI package

Run the relevant Client MSI installation package (Robot or Studio) generated by the RPA Installation wizard (MSI/WiX MSI) on the client machines. The MSI package contains the relevant client configurations.

See Running the Robot/Studio WIX Installer .

  • In client installation (Robot/Studio), make sure to enable the Nintex Connector Browser Extension when prompted. If you install Chrome/Firefox after the clients installation is complete, you need to manually enable the connector for the browsers.

  • In case of using non default ports in Nginx during installation, avoid error in Robots Manager Service by adding the key "HttpServicesPort" to the appSettings.conf file and setting it value to the same as the one used during installation of the Nginx port. EXAMPLE:

    <add key="HttpServicesPort" value="7979" />.

    See Unattended installation error when using non-default ports for troubleshooting reference.

Otherwise >>>

Run the client .exe files

If you didn't generate the Client MSI Package or you don't want to use it, you need to:

  1. Manually configure the client .exe files and then run them.

    See Configuring Connection to Server

  2. Configure client connection to SEQ

  3. Configure non-default ports in SSL/TLS deployment

If you encounter an installation error message of "missing dll of JABswitch.exe", simply complete the installation and run Nintex's Java Manager to fix the issue. See Missing dlll of JABswitch when running client installation.

What else can you do after Robot and Studio installation?

  • By default, a Nintex Robot is installed as an attended robot. You can change this configuration from attended to unattended. See Enabling Unattended Robot Mode.

  • If relevant, install the Nintex DVC (Remote Driver for Citrix).

    See the Nintex RPA - Citrix User Guide for complete instructions.
