Hi, the Studio state in your screenshot does not have any solution open, you can check that by the wording in the top left (near the logo) - it should read "{SolutionName} - Ranorex Studio - (32/64-bit)"

Not quite sure why the wizard didn't auto-open the solution, but you can either try File->Open or go through the wizard steps one more time.

If you try File -> Open, and search for the solution directory, does it exist and allow you to select it?

Also, could you please try opening Studio with administrator priviliges, if possible.

Hi, when I tried File->Open->Project/Solution... i have only empty folder without any files.
But I noticed that when I tried open solution from Samples folder, Ranorex returned me such error.
I have VS 2022 and I probably this issue is related to MSBuild version which is installed. I found somewhere that Ranorex works with MSBuild 16 or lower.
OK, but what now? Should I try install MSBuild in version 16, and in some Ranorex config file indicate this specific version?

A similar issue was reported here - https://www.ranorex.info/msbuild-15-1-0 ... 22955.html

Looks like the temporary workaround is to downgrade the Ranorex installation below 10.5.

Please submit the ticket directly to the support with the same screenshot, reference to that other thread, and your system details (Ranorex version, MS Build version you'd prefer, etc.)

Thanks a lot for tips.
I sent help request to support. I use trial version, so I think that they must provide me appropriate link to download older version.
