Standard installation of Power Automate Process Mining desktop app

  • Article

Before you can start using Power Automate Process Mining desktop app, you need to download and install it to your desktop. You can do this using the standard installation from the Power Automate Process Mining web page, or with a custom installation.

The standard installation process requires access to Microsoft Windows App Installer. To find out if you access, contact your admin.

If you encounter difficulties due to company restrictions, contact your admin. Your admin might ask you to install the app from the MSIX file instead. Learn more in Custom installation of Power Automate Process Mining desktop app.
