What are the prerequisites for Pega Robotic Automation 19.1?

Updated on December 14, 2021

When you use the Setup wizard to install Pega Robot Studio (stand-alone or plug-in), Pega Robot Runtime/Agile Desktop, or both, the wizard first looks for certain Microsoft software prerequisites, such as the .NET Framework. Some prerequisites, such as the C++ redistributables, are included in the installation. If the required software components are missing, the wizard downloads them from Microsoft's site and installs them before it installs your Pega Robot Studio or Pega Robot Runtime software.

Components to check

To install the prerequisites before running the Setup wizard, or if you are doing an offline installation, use the following information as a guide for finding the necessary components. For more information about installing Pega Robot Studio offline, see the installation instructions.
