Universally available
Advanced job scheduler—Automation Workshop works flawlessly on all modern 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows versions: Windows 10 · Windows 11 · Server 2016 · Server 2019 · Server 2022.
Older Windows versions (such as Windows 8 and Server 2008) are not "officially" supported but should still work remarkably well. The underlying architecture of Windows is evolving and our apps are crafted to be backward and forward compatible.
I have a question
- Q: I have installed Automation Workshop, but it does not work on my computer.
- A: Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements—any Windows workstation or server, but Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 or newer is recommended. For older Windows versions, Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed or enabled in Windows Control Panel · View .NET installation instructions · Hardware requirements
- Q: When I try to start Automation Workshop Service from Services in Windows Administrative Tools, I get the message "Febooti Automate Tasks Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some Services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service."
- A: Launch Log Manager from Automation Workshop Manager and open Service log. It should say the reason for the Service's inability to launch. If provided information does not solve the problem, do not hesitate to contact Febooti, Ltd. support department with detailed problem description.
- Q: When performing file operations on network share, provided by older Windows machines with specified path longer than MAX_PATH 260 characters (or, more likely, about 3,000 characters) I get an error message.
- A: While Automation Workshop supports file path up to 32,000 characters, the cause of the problem is in the older Windows versions itself, which are a workstation OS. Thus, unfortunately, there is no solution for this problem, except either using a shorter path when dealing with network shares. There is no problem with using a longer path on newer Microsoft Windows versions, such as Windows 10 and Server 2019/2022.
