The project file could not be loaded

Post by AndyS » Tue Mar 17, 2015 6:27 pm

I opened up the Ranorex application today and received the following error.

The project file could not be loaded. Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: Compile, ItemGroup, Project. Line 167, position 3.

Why has this occurred and how can I retrieve my project?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi,

It sounds like a corrupted solution/project? I would suggest you to backup the solution and load the last working version from source control. If you don't have any previous (working) version, you could send the existing solution to Ranorex support ([email protected]) and hope they can fix it.
